Plasma sterilization in low-pressure RF discharge
The present paper clarifies the conditions under which the process of plasma sterilization of medical tools may be efficiently performed in the RF capacitive gas discharge of low pressure in air. Experiments were performed with a number of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as with fun...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Zusammenfassung: | The present paper clarifies the conditions under which the process of plasma sterilization of medical tools may be efficiently performed in the RF capacitive gas discharge of low pressure in air. Experiments were performed with a number of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as with fungi. The process of sterilization in the RF discharge is shown to possess a threshold pattern. Probably the bombardment of bacteria with positive ions and hot molecules of the neutral gas is the main sterilizing factor in the low pressure RF discharge, and the UV radiation of plasma plays the auxiliary role.
