Mini glide-arc plasma reactor for biological decontamination
Journal Title: European Journal of Medical Technologies - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
Gliding-arc micro-reactors are used to generate non-thermal plasma. The aim of the work was to develop a compact plasma device for biological decontamination, which would not simultaneously contribute to thermal damage on the substrate material. Machining was performed on PET, stainless steel and silicone surfaces, after prior inoculation with cultures of E. coli. Air and nitrogen were used as plasma-generating gases. The maximum attainable reduction of the E. coli bacteria colonies within 5 min of machining was 3.82 log (cfu/mL).
