Abstract

Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasmas, also known as Cold Atmospheric Plasmas (CAPs) are emerging as a potential alternative for cancer treatment since they can be generated at atmospheric conditions and their low temperatures allow the interaction with living tissues without thermal damage. This article focus on the study of the interaction between plasma and a non-cancerous cell line, particularly, VERO cells. Some in-vitro experiments were performed with a custom-made device in order to better understand how CAPs affect non-cancerous cells. It was also studied the influence of several factors such as the distance from the device (gap), the duration and the type of treatment, direct or indirect, on the cell viability after exposure to CAPs treatments. The obtained results revealed the importance of the determination of the optimal relation between gap and treatment time, since small variations in each one of them can lead to different results in the cell viability.
