# Plasmatico

Non-thermal plasma sterilization for laboratories, hospitals, and delicate electronics. Chemical-free decontamination under 40 degrees Celsius, made in Prague.

Plasmatico v1.0 is a benchtop non-thermal plasma decontamination chamber made by COVMASK s.r.o. in Prague. It inactivates pathogens at atmospheric pressure and below 40 °C, without chemical consumables, moisture, or a vacuum pump.

## Key figures

- Operating temperature: below 40 °C, gentle on optics and plastics
- Process: 100% dry, no harsh chemicals
- Running cost: under $0.10 per cycle
- Regulatory status: CE certified for laboratory use; European MDR pathway active
- Chamber: 320 × 370 × 140 mm

## Why choose Plasmatico

Traditional sterilization often fails on modern heat-sensitive, moisture-sensitive, and chemical-sensitive items. Plasmatico is suitable for those materials, was developed with leading Czech scientific institutions, and is energy-efficient.

## Why traditional methods fail

- Steam autoclaves (121–134 °C) melt plastics, crack optical adhesives, damage sensors, and invalidate calibrated tolerances.
- Ethylene oxide is carcinogenic, needs long aeration, and faces regulatory phase-outs. Hydrogen peroxide vapor can leave corrosive residues and degrade anti-reflective coatings.
- Plasmatico NTP runs at room temperature (under 40 °C). Gas-phase active species penetrate crevices without chemicals.

## Applications

- [Medical devices](https://plasmatico.eu/applications/medical-healthcare.md): surgical instruments, heat-sensitive devices, and hospital equipment. Canonical page: https://plasmatico.eu/applications/medical-healthcare
- [Laboratories](https://plasmatico.eu/applications/laboratories.md): contamination-free environments for research and drug production. Canonical page: https://plasmatico.eu/applications/laboratories
- [Electronics and optics](https://plasmatico.eu/applications/electronics-optics.md): circuit boards, lenses, and sensors. Canonical page: https://plasmatico.eu/applications/electronics-optics

## Benefits

- Ultra-low operating cost: each cycle costs under 10 cents, with no regulated chemicals and no vacuum-system maintenance.
- Safe for optical instruments, electronics, and other heat-sensitive items.
- No recurring sterilant purchases.
- Plug-and-play use in laboratories, hospitals, veterinary clinics, and field settings.

## Tested microorganisms

The homepage reports 99.998% reduction for human rhinovirus, human adenovirus, monkeypox virus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Detailed ex-vivo results, tested at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry (IOCB) in Prague and published in Nature Scientific Reports (2023, 2025):

| Pathogen | Type | Efficacy | Cycle |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| SARS-CoV-2 | Enveloped virus | 100.00% | 60–90 min |
| Mpox virus | Orthopoxvirus | 99.97% – 100% | 60–90 min |
| Human rhinovirus | Non-enveloped virus | >99.99% | 60 min |
| Human adenovirus | Non-enveloped virus | >99.99% | 60 min |
| MRSA | Resistant bacterium | 100.00% | 60–90 min |
| Pseudomonas aeruginosa | Gram-negative bacterium | >99.99% | 60 min |
