Development of microbicide equipment and research in pathogen inactivation by cold argon plasma
Abstract
The high bactericidal effect of cold argon plasma generated by low-current spark discharge plasma jets at atmospheric pressure has been revealed. It has been found that the direct contact of low-current spark plasma jets helps perform effective inactivation of bacteria.
