A device capable of generating a relatively long cold plasma plume has recently been developed. The advantages of this device are: plasma controllability and stability, room temperature and atmospheric pressure operation, and low power consumption. These features are what is required from a plasma source to be used reliably in material processing applications, including the biomedical applications. In this communication we describe the device and we present evidence that it can be used successfully to inactivate Escherechia coli in a targeted fashion. More recent experiments have shown that this device inactivates other bacteria also, but these will be reported in the future.
