Abstract

A method of analysis of an impurity in a gas is characterized in that an impurity gas in a sample gas is quantified by ionizing the sample gas, and measuring by a mass spectrometer 6 the intensity of cluster ions which are formed from a main component gas and an impurity gas in the sample gas. In addition, a device for analysis of an impurity in a gas is characterized by comprising a mass spectrometer 6 having a means for ionizing a gas which is introduced thereinto, an analysis line 4 which introduces a sample gas into the aforesaid mass spectrometer 6, and a calibration line 10 which adjusts a concentration of an impurity in the sample gas and thereafter introduces the gas into the aforesaid mass spectrometer 6.
