Temperature-Controlled Disinfection System Using Microwave and Plasma

Temperature-controlled disinfection using microwave and plasma energy is a novel method that has the potential to revolutionize the way we combat infectious diseases. This method presented here utilizes the combined power of microwave energy and plasma to effectively eliminate harmful microorganisms from treated specimens. One of the problems facing disinfection methods that use microwaves is that they utilize high temperatures that could alter or destroy the material which is addressed in this design. The design of the system is demonstrated, and the parts are explained. Experimental results to deactivate pathogens are also presented, where E. Coli bacteria samples were treated by the system using different combinations of microwave and plasma energy levels and exposure times to illustrate the effectiveness of the system. According to the results, the system is very effective at deactivating pathogens in a short period of time.
