This type of plasmas have been known for their ability to generate reactive species that initiate bio-molecular reactions involved in the bacterial and viral deactivation mechanisms. The aim of this project is to investigate the disinfection capabilities of such cold plasma devices using air at atmospheric pressure. This work is a tight collaboration between the Institut of Energies of the HEIG-VD and the Institut Technologies du Vivant of the HES-SO Valais-Wallis (HES-SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland), regrouping 3 plasma physicists and 4 microbiologists.

All reports and detailed methodologies are included in the "Reports" repertory. 1) DBD Plasma - Dielectric Barrier Discharge plasma 2) DC Plasma - Direct current plasma 3) RF Plasma - Radio frequency plasma 4) Reports Four types of measurement are provided for each plasma technology, sorted into specific directories. An image of the plasma obtained during the tests is provided. - Electric - All electrical parameters measured during testing - Temperature - All temperature data (data raw or pictures) - Spectrum - Plasma spectrum measurements (data raw or excel files) - Microbio - Screenshots of HEVS microbiological tests (The HES-SO Valais-Wallis) - Pictures - Overview of the resulting plasma (.jpg) All measurement protocols are detailed in the reports attached with the measurements. - RaD_-_Rapport_scientifique_final_HES-SO_DesinfectAirStream.pdf - Report_DesinfectAirStream_KASSIR_Abdel_Majid_vf.pdf - Report_Microbio_14_12_21.pdf ================================================================================================================= METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: All measurement protocols are detailed in the reports attached with the measurements. - RaD_-_Rapport_scientifique_final_HES-SO_DesinfectAirStream.pdf - Report_DesinfectAirStream_KASSIR_Abdel_Majid_vf.pdf Methods for processing the data: Raw measurements were collected using the measuring equipment employed during the tests: - Electrical measurements: Oscilloscope Tektronix TBS 1154 , HV Probe Tektronix P6015A, Current Probe Tektronix TCP312A (raw data processed using excel or matlab) - Thermal measurements: Optical fiber thermometer and IR Camera (FLIR A8580) (raw data) - Light spectrum measurements: Ocean optics spectrum analyzer (Ocean SR) (raw data) and Ocean insight software - Microbio: All parameters specified in the document Report_Microbio_14_12_21.pdf (Reports repertory) Environmental/experimental conditions: Normal laboratory environment T10 (HEIG-VD) ================================================================================================================
