Spectro-electrochemical characterization of the chemistry generated in physiological media by cold atmospheric plasmas
Résumé
Biotechnological innovations recently showed the usefulness of Cold Atmospheric Plasmas (CAPs), particularly in the field of biology and medicine [1, 2]. CAPs are partially ionized gases closed to room temperature in non thermal equilibrium. They are composed of charged particles, UV-visible radiations, neutral excited species and radicals that can interact with living systems [3]. However, the interactions of these reactive media with aqueous phases have first to be better understood in order to decipher on cell biological effects. This study is aimed at characterizing the nature and kinetics of reactive species formed by CAPs in physiological fluids.
