Abstract
The plasma jet of a nonthermal plasma torch was studied under various flow rates as it interacted with cell culture media. As the flow rate of the plasma working gas increases, the surface area of the attachment changes considerably. Effects in appearance range from a fine “jet” to a broad “skirt” that flutters in a disorganized pattern.
