Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a technology that enables highly sensitive atmospheric-pressure real-time mass spectrometry of a volatile substance. The present invention provides a coupling device for a mass spectrometry apparatus that is an interface member to be connected to an atmospheric-pressure real-time mass spectrometry apparatus, the coupling device including (A) an excitation gas introducing port, a sample gas introducing port, and an ionized sample gas discharging port, and (B) a channel through which the excitation gas introducing port and the ionized sample gas discharging port are in communication, and (C) a space for mixing excitation gas and sample gas being formed in a region of a portion of the channel recited in (B), by the coupling device having a structure in which the sample gas introducing port and the channel recited in (B) are in communication.
