The workshop "BIODECON" represents the official midterm meeting of the EU-project BIODECON, which is funded in the 6th framework programme of the
EU. This project is aimed at the understanding and development of plasma
sterilization methods for the medical industry. Low and atmospheric pressure
plasma sources are evaluated and the inactivation of bacteria and of
hazardous biomolecules including prions is studied. The consortium consists
of partners from Germany, Italy and France. The contributions from
workpackage leaders of the project are complemented by external speakers
highlighting the demand in industry as well as the issues regarding the
validation of plasma sterilization in the future. |
