On October 13, 2021, our article on this subject was published in a peer-review journal:
"A Plasma-Generating N-95 Respirator Decontamination Unit Created from a Microwave Oven" Plasma Medicine 11 (3): 1-18 (2021)

This is a "how-to" video explaining how to convert a microwave oven, coat hanger, coffee cup and some household chemicals into a plasma-generating N-95 respirator decontamination unit. 30 seconds of plasma exposure was able to reduce the viral burden greater than 4 log to the detect-ability limit and reduced the biological spore indicators by greater than 7 logs. Filtration and fit tests were still passed after 10 decontamination cycles.

The plans for the 3-D printed antenna holder featured in the video can be found here:

Be sure to insert a ceramic tile into the holder before use!
