Mass spectrometric device and mass spectrometric device control method

Abstract

This mass spectrometric device is provided with a sample container () for placing a measurement sample () therein, a detector () analyzing the mass of a sample and detecting a drug, or the like, in the sample, a dielectric container () linked to the sample container for running a discharge current into air to provoke ionization, a valve () for sending air intermittently to the sample container, the dielectric container and the detector, a barrier discharge high-voltage power source () to be discharged by the dielectric container, a current detection unit () connected to the barrier discharge high-voltage power source for detecting a discharge current (), a discharge-start timing detection unit () connected to the current detection unit for detecting the discharge-start timing based on the current detection result from the current detection unit to send a discharge-start timing signal (), and a control unit () for controlling each constituent.
