Dirks, Tim (author), Yayci, Abdulkadir (author), Klopsch, Sabrina (author), Krewing, Marco (author), Zhang, Wuyuan (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Bandow, Julia E. (author)Non-thermal plasmas are used in various applications to inactivate biological agents or biomolecules. A complex cocktail of reactive species, (vacuum) UV radiation and in some cases exposure to an electric field together cause the detrimental effects. In contrast to this disruptive property of technical plasmas, we have shown previously that...journal article 2023
