Why Traditional Methods Fail for Sensitive Materials
Modern medicine and advanced biotechnology rely on heat-sensitive polymers, optical lenses, and micro-electronics. Standard sterilizers simply cannot handle them.
✕
Steam Autoclaves (121–134 °C)
Extreme heat and saturated steam melt common plastics, crack optical adhesives, damage sensitive diagnostic sensors, and permanently invalidate calibrated tolerances.
Causes thermal deformation
✕
Chemical Sterilants (EtO, H₂O₂)
Ethylene oxide is carcinogenic, requires 24-hour post-aeration, and faces strict regulatory phase-outs. Liquid peroxides leave corrosive residues and degrade anti-reflective coatings.
Toxic, slow & compliance-heavy

Answers for Professionals
Frequently Asked Questions
Essential technical and operational details about Plasmatico sterilization.
What is Plasmatico, and how does it work?
Plasmatico is an advanced non-thermal plasma (NTP) sterilization system designed for biochemical laboratories, hospitals, veterinary clinics, and healthcare facilities. It generates reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) at atmospheric pressure to eliminate pathogens without requiring chemical agents, high temperatures, or vacuum systems, making it a clean, dry, and eco-friendly decontamination solution.
What certifications does Plasmatico hold?
Plasmatico is CE-certified for laboratory environments, ensuring full compliance with European safety, electrical, and quality directives. Additionally, the certification pathway under the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) is currently in progress to extend formal compliance for direct therapeutic and surgical medical device processing.
What microorganisms has Plasmatico been tested against?
Plasmatico has undergone rigorous, independent laboratory testing against a broad spectrum of resilient bacteria and viral pathogens, including:
- SARS-CoV-2 (Strain hCoV-19/NRL_6632_2/2020): 100.00% reduction within 60–90 minutes.
- Monkeypox virus (Mpox) (Strain hMpxV/Czech Republic/MHI-001/2022): 99.97% to 100.00% reduction.
- Influenza A virus (H1N1/California/07/2009): >99.99% reduction.
- Human Rhinovirus (Species A/type 2, ATCC VR-482): >99.99% reduction.
- Human Adenovirus (Species C/type 2, ATCC VR-846): >99.99% reduction.
- Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (ATCC 43300): 100.00% inactivation.
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO1): >99.99% inactivation.
- Escherichia coli (Wild type): >99.99% inactivation.
What are the key advantages of Plasmatico over traditional autoclaves and chemical sterilizers?
Unlike conventional sterilization techniques:
- No Added Chemicals: Operates without hazardous sterilants such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or toxic ethylene oxide (EtO).
- Gentle Low-Temperature Processing: Internal temperatures stay only 5–10 °C above ambient, preventing melting, thermal warping, or loss of instrument calibration.
- No Vacuum Required: Operates at ambient atmospheric pressure, avoiding vacuum pump maintenance and seal failures.
- Minimal Operating Costs: Consumes only minimal electrical power (costs < 10 cents per cycle).
What types of items can be safely sterilized in Plasmatico?
Plasmatico is engineered for sensitive, delicate, and high-value materials, including:
- Precision optical instruments, camera lenses, and endoscopes.
- Delicate medical and diagnostic electronics and circuit boards.
- Laboratory tools, pipette tips with aerosol barrier filters, and centrifuge vessels.
- Heat-sensitive surgical instruments and dental handpieces.
