Abstract:
A liquid sample analyzing system including an ion analyzer having a first ion source receiving a target sample and a second ion source receiving a reference sample; a liquid sample introduction mechanism  3  including a passage-switching section introducing reference samples into the second ion source; and a controller for repeatedly performing a series of steps in the ion analyzer, the steps including: a pre-measurement step for initiating a measurement; a measurement step for introducing a target sample into the first ion source and performing a measurement on an ion originating from the target sample along with an ion originating from a reference sample introduced into the second ion source by the liquid sample introduction mechanism; and a post-measurement step where the liquid sample introduction mechanism operates concurrently with the predetermined post-measurement step to switch the passage-switching section to a passage having a reference sample for the next analysis.

Claim (Index 3):
The liquid sample analyzing system according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n the passage-switching section comprises one main port and a plurality of sub-ports to be selectively connected to the main port; and the liquid sample introduction mechanism further comprises:\n a nebulizing-gas passage for supplying a nebulizing gas to the second ion source; \n a plurality of liquid sample containers for holding the plurality of reference liquid samples, where each of the liquid sample containers is a hermetically closed container; \n a liquid-supply-gas passage with one end connected to an intermediate portion of the nebulizing-gas passage and another end branched into sub-passages each of which is connected to a space above a liquid level in one of the plurality of liquid sample containers; \n the sample-supply main passage with one end connected to the second ion source and another end connected to the main port; and a sample-supply sub-passage including a plurality of passages each of which has one end connected to a space below the liquid level in one of the liquid sample containers and another end connected to one of the plurality of sub-ports.
