Low-power MSDBD source for thermally sensitive surfaces.

The RPS30 multi-hollow is a low-power MSDBD (Multi-hollow Surface Dielectric Barrier Discharge) atmospheric plasma source for laboratory testing of thermally sensitive substrates, patterned surfaces, and short-duration ozone / reactive-species generation in ambient air or defined gas atmospheres.

MSDBD unit consists of an array of 105 hollow-surface dielectric barrier discharges located within the holes. The working gas flowing through the holes enables efficient working distances up to 5 mm.

Main features
