Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A mass spectrometer, comprising:
an ionization section configured to generate ions from a sample;
a mass separation section configured to separate ions generated by the ionization section according to mass-to-charge ratio;
an ion detector configured to detect an ion separated by the mass separation section;
an ion capture section configured to capture an ion separated by the mass separation section; and
an auxiliary measurement section configured to measure a physical quantity of the ion captured by the ion capture section, where the physical quantity is different from mass-to-charge ratio;
wherein the mass separation section includes:
a front mass separation section configured to select, as a precursor ion, an ion having a specific mass-to-charge ratio from the ions generated by the ionization section;
a dissociation section configured to dissociate the precursor ion into product ions; and
a rear mass separation section configured to select an ion having a specific mass-to-charge ratio from the product ions.
