Abstract
Abstract An investigation of sterilization by a low-temperature microwave-generated atmospheric pressure plasma jet (MAPPJ) is presented. Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and yeast Saccharomyces species (Saccharomyces sp.) at 1.0 × 103 and 1.0 × 104 cfu/mL dilutions are investigated and fungi tested experimentally. The MAPPJ is generated by several watt continuous-wave microwaves and Ar gas, and direct treatment of the bacteria by a programmable planar XY motorized translation stage. After several minutes of plasma treatment, the number of bacterial colonies was sufficiently reduced and found to be nearly zero, and bare ozone and nitrogen dioxide were observed. This investigation shows that plasma sterilization would be a novel application for solid-state microwave power sources.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the Microwave Power Energy (JMPEE) is a quarterly publication of the International Microwave Power Institute (IMPI), aimed to be one of the primary sources of the most reliable information in the arts and sciences of microwave and RF technology. JMPEE provides space to engineers and researchers for presenting papers about non-communication applications of microwave and RF, mostly industrial, scientific, medical and instrumentation. Topics include, but are not limited to: applications in materials science and nanotechnology, characterization of biological tissues, food industry applications, green chemistry, health and therapeutic applications, microwave chemistry, microwave processing of materials, soil remediation, and waste processing.
