  • Method for Treating a Biological Material Comprising Living Cells
    Publication number: 20120107896
    Abstract: A plasma containing at least one reactive species are used to deliver agents into living cells or an extracellular matrix of the living cells. The method and system allows for treatment of the living cells without causing irreversible damage to the cell membranes of the living cells. The plasma is produced by dielectric barrier discharge.

  • Device for plasma treatment at atmospheric pressure
    Patent number: 8136481
    Abstract: A device (1) for plasma treatment comprises an electrode (2) having a surface (14) covered by a dielectric barrier (3), and an AC high voltage source (6) for applying an AC high voltage to the electrode (2) to bring about a dielectric barrier discharge (9) in a gas (10) at atmospheric pressure present in front of the dielectric barrier (3) in order to generate a plasma. To the end of generating the plasma even without a counter-electrode for the electrode (2), pointed tips are distributed over the surface (14) of the electrode (2), these pointed tips pointing towards the gas (10) in front of the dielectric barrier (3), whereas the dielectric barrier (3) has a smooth outer surface (15) facing the gas (10).

  • DEVICE FOR THE TREATMENT OF SURFACES WITH A PLASMA GENERATED BY AN ELECTRODE OVER A SOLID DIELECTRIC VIA A DIELECTRICALLY IMPEDED GAS DISCHARGE
    Publication number: 20110022043
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for treatment of surfaces with a plasma (2) generated by an electrode (1) over a solid dielectric (3) via a dielectrically impeded gas discharge, wherein the device has an effective surface (4) which is immediately adjacent to the plasma (2) during the treatment, wherein the form of the effective surface can be reversibly changed.
