Cold atmospheric plasma activated water as a prospective disinfectant: the crucial role of peroxynitrite

TL;DR: This research successfully demonstrated the possibility of PAW being an effective environmentally benign disinfectant, the activity of which is closely linked to the generation of peroxynitrite, providing much needed insights into the fundamental aspects ofPAW chemistry required for optimisation of the biochemical activity of PAw and translation of this decontamination strategy into real life applications.

Plasma-activated water: generation, origin of reactive species and biological applications

TL;DR: This review presents a succinct review of how novel, efficient methods based on non-equilibrium reactive plasma chemistries can be applied to low-cost natural water sources to produce a prospective product with a wide range of applications while at the same time minimising the process steps and dramatically reducing the use of expensive and/or hazardous reagents.

On the effect of serum on the transport of reactive oxygen species across phospholipid membranes

TL;DR: Data show that serum enhances plasma ROS generation in DMEM, and the authors speculate on how the components of biological fluid and cellular membranes might affect the kinetics of consumption of plasma generated ROS.

Diagnostic-based modeling on a micro-scale atmospheric-pressure plasma jet*

TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied diagnostic-based modeling (DBM) to determine spatial absolute atomic oxygen ground-state density profiles in a micro atmospheric-pressure plasma jet operated in He-O 2.

Determination of OH Radicals in an Atmospheric Pressure Helium Microwave Plasma Jet

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed characterization of the helium microwave plasma jet was carried out by using UV-pulsed cavity ringdown spectroscopy and optical emission spectrographs, and the absolute number densities of the OH radicals were measured along the plasma jet column from the jet orifice to the far downstream.

Spectroscopic Study of Low-Frequency Helium DBD Plasma Jet

TL;DR: In this article, the radial distribution of axial electric field of the bullet shows that the ring-shaped structure of the light emission is a consequence of such electric field distribution, which is revealed by spatially resolved measurements of intensity distribution of typical excited species and by electric field measurements based on Stark polarization spectroscopy.

Stability and excitation dynamics of an argon micro-scaled atmospheric pressure plasma jet

TL;DR: In this paper, the micro-scaled atmospheric pressure plasma jet (μAPPJ) was investigated experimentally and by numerical modeling, and it was found that the voltage at the α-γ transition behaves inversely proportional to the applied frequency f and that the corresponding power scales with an f 3/2law.
