Inactivation of Mycobacteria by Radicals from Non-Thermal Plasma Jet

Plasma Based Sterilization: Overview and the Stepwise Inactivation Process of Microbial by Non-thermal Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet

The microbial inactivation/sterilization is an important part of our daily healthy life. This paper presents the overview on the sterilization process. Comparing the effectiveness of the sterilization agents it has been found that the short High Electric Field [HEF] pulse is the most efficient inactivation agent. This HEF pulse creates pores on the cell surface and kills the cell. Electroporati...

Inactivation of Bacteria by Non-Thermal Plasmas

Non-thermal Plasma Inactivation of Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens spores

Inactivation of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BA) spores by non-thermal plasma (NTP) was investigated by studying inactivation kinetics and using attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). ATR-FTIR is a useful tool to probe the biochemical and structural changes of spores after NTP treatment in order to better manipulate and optimize the parameters for NTP pro...

Insulating Material Erosion in Atmospheric Non- Thermal Plasma Jet Device

This paper reports on the selection of insulating material types in a developed atmosphericpressure non-thermal plasma jet (ANPJ-II) device which was operated previously in our laboratory based on the minimum erosion area of the insulator’s nozzle. Three identical insulator groups used in our experiment include; Teflon insulator material with different thicknesses of 1.5 mm and 2 mm respectivel...
