The Effect of a High-Voltage Diffuse Gas Discharge on Microbiological Cultures

Abstract: The results are given of investigation of the inactivation of microbiological cultures in moist and dry states by low-temperature plasma of a low-power diffuse pulse-periodic discharge (up to 5 W) initiated in the air at a pressure of tens of torr and with an interelectrode gap of up to 10 cm. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis, inoculated onto test samples in an amount of ~10 8 , were used as reference cultures. It is found that a complete sterility of moist and dry test samples is attained after… Show more

“…It was then decided to add gaseous nitric oxide to the ECMO circuit (Figure 1). To generate nitric oxide, we used a device (Tianox; RFNC-VNIIEF, Russia) that produced nitric oxide from the ambient air, supplied it into the extracorporeal circuit, and monitoring/regulating NO concentration in the supplying mixture [4,5]. The average dosage of nitric oxide was 40 ppm; the average NO 2 concentration was 0.2-1.1 (0.80±0.06) ppm.…”

“…It was reported that a high-voltage diffuse discharge at a low gas pressure and a low power could be used for the inactivation of microbiological cultures [2]. As is known [3], a volume discharge can be generated using inhomogeneous electric field in gases at atmospheric pressure.…”
