Abstract

Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jets APPjs are a promising new field of research which are beneficial to many associated technologies, such as material treatment and biomedical applications [1],[2]. The use of non-thermal plasmas for the eradication and control of bacterial infection and contamination are acquired great attention in biomedical applications [3]. The effects of non-thermal plasma operating conditions on the bacterial inactivation rate have been investigated in many previous studies. In this study a kHz-driven APPj source of a structure similar to that designed by Teschke et al in 2005 [4], which has been studied recently by many research groups in different configurations [5]. The experimental setup simulates the activity of a APPj against biofilms of Bacillus cereus to investigate the influence of APPj. The method improves the understanding of the interaction mechanism between the plasma jet and the liquid biological samples.
