Inactivation of Bacteria by the Plasma Pencil
Abstract
Summary: A device capable of generating a relatively long cold plasma plume has recently been developed. The advantages of this device are: plasma controllability and stability, room temperature and atmospheric pressure operation, and low power consumption. These features are what is required from a plasma source to be used reliably in material processing applications, including the biomedical applications. In this communication we describe the device and we present evidence that it can be used successfully to inactivate Escherechia coli in a targeted fashion. More recent experiments have shown that this device inactivates other bacteria also, but these will be reported in the future.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
