Abstract
The present work aims at studying different microwave flowing discharges containing Ar and/or NO as alternative candidates to more extended N 2 containing plasma mixtures like N 2-O 2. Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) is used to demonstrate the potential possibilities of these plasma mixtures to provide O*and UV intermediate species demanded for sterilization purposes at low temperatures and extended discharge gaps. Additionally, some plasma sterilization experiments with Escherichia coli cultures are presented. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
