Lid for use in a mass spectrometry system

Abstract

Apparatus, systems, and methods disclosed herein utilize a lid for closing, substantially sealing, and providing an electrical interface for mass spectrometry systems. In various aspects, the present disclosure provides a lid having a plurality of layers with electrical connections therethrough. In some embodiments, lids for use in a mass spectrometry system as are disclosed herein can include a plurality of layers having electrical connections such that their inputs and outputs are laterally staggered across these layers. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods of making and using disclosed lids and mass spectrometry systems. In some embodiments, implementations of the present disclosure are useful in mass spectrometry systems, including, for example, improving and simplifying assembly.
