Abstract
Treatment of melanoma cell cultures submerged into a typical cell growth buffer solution by room-temperature atmospheric pressure air plasma generated through the Dielectric Barrier Discharge above the surface of the fluid is investigated. It is shown that the plasma discharge can inactivate or permeabilize the cytoplasmic membrane of Melanoma cells at depths of about half a millimeter of the fluid within a few tenths of seconds. It is also demonstrated that the observed effects occur only when the cells are present in the solution during the plasma treatment and, therefore, cannot be attributed to chemical changes in the solution alone.
