Analytical device, analytical method and program

An analytical method, comprising:

• performing of an ionization of carrier gas introduced into a separation column;
• performing of a mass-separation of ions generated by ionization;
• performing of a detection of the ions having been mass-separated by amplification with a predetermined multiplication factor, and of an output of a detection signal by a detection unit;
• performing of an analysis of the detection signal having been output;
• performing of a measurement of a flow rate of the carrier gas;
• and
• performing of an adjustment of the multiplication factor of the detection unit, and/or of a voltage applied to an electrode of an ion transport system in the mass-separation based on the flow rate of the carrier gas having been measured and magnitude of the detection signal corresponding to the carrier gas detected by the detection unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a program for a processing device of an analytical device, the analytical device performing:

• an ionization of carrier gas introduced into a separation column;
• a mass-separation of ions generated by ionization;
• a detection of the ions having been mass-separated in amplification with a predetermined multiplication factor by a detection unit;
• an output of a detection signal by the detection unit;
• an analysis of the detection signal having been output;
• and
• a measurement of a flow rate of the carrier gas, wherein:
• the program causes the processing device to perform an adjustment of the multiplication factor of the detection unit and/or of a voltage applied to an electrode of an ion transport system in the mass-separation based on the flow rate of the carrier gas having been measured and magnitude of the detection signal corresponding to the carrier gas detected by the detection unit.
