ICPM9 International Conference of Plasma Medicine

Terraplasma at the ICPM9

The 9th International Conference on Plasma Medicine (ICPM9) took place from 27 June to 1 July 2022 at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The ICPM brings together experts from the fields of plasma, medicine, biology and biochemistry to develop a common language, to better define important challenges and open questions, and find effective solutions.

The first annual meeting of the COST Action “PlasTHER: Therapeutic Applications of Cold Plasmas” took place in parallel with ICPM9. The annual meeting took place for 2.5 days, from 27 to 29 June 2022. COST (i.e. European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding organisation for research and innovation networks. The COST Action PlasTHER aims to develop links among plasma medicine research and the medical community and patients.

This COST Action started in September 2021 and will end in 2025, with members from 25 countries.

terraplasma is developing a demonstrator for water treatment with Cold Plasma on an industrial scale

A few months ago, the Cold Plasma pioneers at terraplasma GmbH were able to show that with their highly effective technology it is possible to reduce the so-called “forever chemicals” (PFAS Per- and polyFluorinated Alkyl Substances) in drinking water. As part of a research study funded by ESA Spark Funding (https://www.esa-technology-broker.it/spark-funding/), the company wants to expand its research and develop a water treatment system with a significantly more powerful flow rate. Under the project name “Plasma Pure Water”, ter-raplasma aims to complete a larger demonstration system that will meet the requirements of large households and smaller industrial applications with at least 100 liters per minute. A first prototype named “tpWater” is already being tested and optimized.

Impressions from BayOConnect 2024 in Munich

“replacing chemicals. the sustainable way.” Under this motto, the innovation leader from Garching near Munich promotes the many different possible uses of cold plasma technology in the areas of biotech and life science. Cold plasma is perfect for replacing conventional disinfection solutions with chemicals, UV, heat or radiation, for example, and thus enables true sustainability. An excellently suitable platform is the BayOConnect 2024 event, in which terraplasma actively participated as speaker and exhibitor.

Aerosol-assisted cold plasma technology from terraplasma for disinfecting surfaces reaches important milestone

Cold atmospheric plasma (cold plasma for short) is already proving its effectiveness in the treatment of chronic and acute wounds by reducing microorganisms without contact or chemicals. Viruses, fungi and bacteria, including multi-resistant pathogens (MRE), are efficiently and sustainably destroyed by cold plasma. It therefore made sense to extend this active principle to other areas of application, such as the disinfection of objects and surfaces. With a prototype called “tpTop”, a handy and mobile cold plasma decontamination device with aerosol support, it has now been possible to deactivate up to 99.9% of microorganisms within a few seconds of treatment. This opens up new application possibilities for the future, such as the fast and sustainable disinfection of surfaces of all kinds.
