Article Synopsis
- Cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) is effective at killing bacteria and removing biofilms, as reported in the study.
- A novel CAP device was developed using a stack of eight linear-discharge elements, creating a treatment area of approximately 5 cm, constructed from Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) for efficiency.
- The device generates an Ar/O plasma using a 20 kHz AC voltage, achieving over 99% bacteria kill rate within 60 seconds of exposure, demonstrating its potential for antimicrobial applications.
