Repeatability of cold atmospheric pressure plasma experiments for biological inactivation applications

Research related to non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma sources and technologies is currently focused on emerging applications in medicine and biology. As in any other plasma application, the efficacy of the plasma treatment depends on various discharge operating conditions such as temperature,...
