Abstract
There are provided a mass spectrometer and a mass spectrometry method which can realize shortening of the measurement time and reduction of the consumption of a sample. Ions, in which the intensity distribution forms a peak waveform at both of each retention time and each mass-to-charge ratio (peaks P, P, Pand P) are detected as MS/MS precursor ions based on three-dimensional information of a retention time, a mass-to-charge ratio and an intensity. Whether or not MSanalysis is performed for each ion is determined beforehand based on whether or not the isotopic distributions of a plurality of ions are superimposed at each retention time rtto rt. Ions (peaks Pand P) for which MSanalysis is performed and ions (peaks Pand P) for which MSanalysis is not performed can be hereby determined at the time the MS spectrum is measured to detect MS/MS precursor ions.
