As pioneers in cold plasma science, our team of scientists, engineers, and experts have played a key role in driving research and commercial development. Our groundbreaking work has brought cold plasma technology to companies, public institutions and even private households worldwide.
So, what exactly is cold plasma? Technically known as Cold Atmospheric Plasma, or CAP, it is a partially ionized gas scientifically proven to effectively inactivate a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.
Terraplasma is a global leader in the research and development of cold plasma solutions. terraplasma was founded in 2011 as a spin-off of the Max Planck Institute to commercialize research results on cold plasma from over three decades. Over the past decade, we have developed and launched five products in the areas of skin care and wound treatment, disinfection and sterilization, and odor and allergen management.
With extensive experience from design and prototyping to commercial device – and together with partners have sold more than 35,000 products containing our patented cold plasma technology.

How is cold plasma generated? Unlike hot plasma – such as the sun or northern lights, cold plasma operates at normal room temperature. Cold plasma is created when just enough energy is added to ambient air so that only a few particles are ionized. This cold plasma particle mixture – a “plasma cocktail” – is highly effective against microorganisms, among other things, and can therefore be used in water treatment, the food industry, but also in medicine and cosmetics.
What innovations and applications for cold plasma have we realized? Cold plasma is powerful and at the same time sustainable in its use. It is manufactured exclusively from ambient air and electrical energy as part of our patented solutions and is suitable for a wide range of different applications in different markets.
Get an initial overview of the innovations we have developed so that cold plasma can work for you in the areas of water-treatment, disinfection, medicine/wound healing und skin care.
We at terraplasma are at the forefront of the development of cold plasma: Some of our compact innovations are already in use thousands of times – in medicine, in private households and in business environments. Together with our partners, we were able to develop unique products that sustainably solve known problems in a completely new way. Check out our success stories here – already available today.
Take a look at some examples of how we developed our innovations to market readiness to use cold plasma for our customers and partners in different areas.
Cold plasma and its diverse application potential also offers your company sustainable and at the same time economically attractive differentiation opportunities to break new ground and successfully set yourself apart from your competitors.
