ABSTRACT:
A liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer comprises: a pump; a sample injector; a plurality of separation columns, including a first separation column and a second separation column; and mass spectrometer. The liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer further comprises: a plurality of trap columns for retaining a sample component separated by the first separation column; a first switching valve for switching between one of the plurality of trap columns and another one of the plurality of trap columns at regular time intervals in such a way that when the one of the plurality of trap columns is connected to the first separation column, the another one of the plurality of trap columns is connected to the pump, and vice versa; and a second switching valve for, when a trap column is connected to the pump, further connecting the trap column to the second separation column after connecting the trap column to solution discharging means during a predetermined initial time period, the second separation column being connected to the mass spectrometer and capable of separating the sample component in a shorter time than the first separation column.
