Inclusion of Biological Targets in the Analysis of Electrical Characteristics of Non-Thermal Plasma Discharge

In Plasma Medicine studies, the effect of non-thermal plasma (NTP) on biological targets is typically correlated with amount stable reactive oxygen and nitrogen species produced in a liquid medium. The NTP response target cellular redox mechanisms overlooked these investigations. Additionally, influence electrical properties cells physical neglected. Therefore, we used floating electrode dielectric barrier discharge to explore impact cell structure, size, viability NTP. Lissajous figures were determine circuit capacitance energy per cycle during exposure different suspensions. We show that both, structural integrity active enzymic processes change Correlations also drawn between NTP-produced hydrogen peroxide nitrite measured capacitance. Our studies indicate observed changes suspensions may be due feedback loop source. future more detailed analysis needed improve control clinical devices.
