Abstract
A mass spectrometer includes a sample separation apparatus which separates a sample solution into gaseous molecules, a plurality of ion sources which ionize the gaseous molecules to produce ions, and a mass analysis region which mass-analyzes ions produced by one of the ion sources. One of the ion sources may include a needle electrode which generates corona discharge for use in ionizing the gaseous molecules. The ion sources may be provided under a first pressure condition, and the mass analysis region may be provided under a second pressure condition lower than the first pressure condition.
