Anticancer Effects of Plasma-Activated Medium Produced by a Microwave-Excited Atmospheric Pressure Argon Plasma Jet

Figure 2

Cell viability of cancer cells (a, b) and normal cells (c, d). Cells were treated with the PAM produced at different conditions. The gas flow rates of plasma jet were 1.3 SLM and 1.9 SLM. Growth medium was exposed by plasma at 5, 7, and 8 W for 180 sec (a, c). In (b, d), plasma exposure time was 60, 120, and 180 sec at 7 W. Following 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours of PAM treatment, cancer cells were incubated with MTT solution and then measured by a microplate reader. Normal (Nuff) cells were treated with PAM for 24 hours. , , and vs. control. n.s. denotes vs. controls.
