Abstract
An interface placed between a gas chromatograph part and a mass spectrometer part of a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer for allowing one or two columns to pass air-tightly from the gas chromatograph part to the mass spectrometer part. The interface includes: a heat-retention block having a small-diameter hole allowing two columns to pass through; a single-hole ferrule having a small-diameter hole allowing a single column to pass through; and a two-hole ferrule having two small-diameter holes allowing two columns to respectively pass through. An adapter is placed between the heat-retention block and the two-column nut. It includes a long large-diameter opening allowing two columns passing through the two-hole ferrule to converge on the small-diameter hole of the heat-retention block. The interface also includes a single-column nut for pressing the single-hole ferrule to the heat-retention block; and a two-column nut for pressing the two-hole ferrule to the adapter.
