Surface cleaning and sterilization are oftentimes required to remove organic and microbial contaminants and prepare surfaces for subsequent processing. The following papers discuss work that utilize Harrick Plasma equipment to create a sterile environment to improve test/experimental conditions, or to clean surfaces to enhance surface bonding.
