Abstract :
We have successfully produced mono-dispersed micro-scale plasma bubble in microfluidic chip under atmospheric pressure, and which can be transported to the downstream of the chip. The plasma produced has characteristics of low temperature and which was generated by dielectric barrier discharge for biomedical applications. The discretized plasma phase in microfluidic chip provides high accuracy irradiation to the affected area with limited collateral damage area. This technique is closely tied to the therapeutic uses with high accuracy.
