New investigation results, 'Helium-hydrogen microplasma device (MPD) on postage-stamp-size plastic-quartz chips,' are detailed in a study published in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry. According to a study from Canada, "A new design of a miniaturized, atmospheric-pressure, low-power (e.g., battery-operated), self-igniting, planar-geometry microplasma device (MPD) for use with liquid microsamples is described. The inexpensive MPD was a hybrid, three-substrate quartz-plastic-plastic structure and it was formed on chips with area the size of a small postage stamp."
"The substrates were chosen for rapid prototyping and for speedy device-geometry testing and ...
