Cold Plasma demonstrator

Introduction

With the OMVE CP121 Cold Plasma Demonstrator you have a reliable and robust system that gives you maximum possibilities to learn and understand the great possibilities of Cold Plasma’s. The demonstrator is capable to produce a jet of nitrogen plasma without the need of a vacuum at temperatures as low as 40^oC. Plasma can be used to treat heat liable surfaces of polymer packaging materials as such PP, PE and PET without the risk of melting or deformation. By enhancing the surface energy using cold plasma surface properties can be altered and surfaces can be decontaminated. This versatile plasma unit can be operated by using nitrogen, helium or even air while the power and gas consumption are spectacular low!

Study the redox chemistry that occurs inside the cold flame using iodine starch paper. Change polymer surfaces from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. Challenge the laws of thermodynamics: learn all about the Overhauser effect and extent the plasma flame up to 3 meters in length.

The molecular content of the plasma can be indentified and the electron temperature can be measured using the optional advanced Molecular Diagnostic kit CP121-150. Have a detailed look inside your plasma and measure electron temperatures as high as 20.000ºK.

The system is designed to determine the inactivation kinetics of different micro-organisms at well defined conditions. Try to find the optimum plasma conditions for microbial inactivation at wet and dry conditions using the microbiology option CP121-200.
