Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of microwave plasma torch for decontamination
Tetsuji Shimizu,Bernd Steffes,René Pompl,Ferdinand Jamitzky,Wolfram Bunk,Katrin Ramrath,Matthias Georgi,Wilhelm Stolz,Hans-Ulrich Schmidt,Takuya Urayama,Shuitsu Fujii,Gregor E. Morfill +11 more
TL;DR: An atmospheric low-temperature microwave plasma torch has been developed and applied to disinfection as discussed by the authors, where the size of the plasma output is relatively large (35 mm in diameter) and argon gas at a flow rate of 2.2 slm and 85 W microwave power are used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sterilization mechanism for Escherichia coli by plasma flow at atmospheric pressure
TL;DR: A mechanism for sterilizing Escherichia coli by a flowing postdischarge and UV radiation of argon plasma at atmospheric pressure was investigated by analyzing the surviving cells and the potassium leakage of cytoplasmic material and by morphological observation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of low-temperature plasma on bacteria as observed by repeated AFM imaging
René Pompl,Ferdinand Jamitzky,Tetsuji Shimizu,Bernd Steffes,Wolfram Bunk,Hans-Ulrich Schmidt,Matthias Georgi,Katrin Ramrath,Wilhelm Stolz,Robert W. Stark,Takuya Urayama,Shuitsu Fujii,Gregor E. Morfill +12 more
TL;DR: This work investigated the morphological changes of bacteria using atomic force microscopy before and after plasma treatment at high resolution, suggesting that several sterilizing mechanisms exist and they proceed at different timescales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sterilization efficacy of a coaxial microwave plasma flow at atmospheric pressure
TL;DR: In this article, a coaxial cable for microwave transmission of atmospheric low-temperature plasma source was developed, which has the advantages of portability, simple configuration, and ability to operate with a wide range of gases and mixtures.
