PiezoBrush PZ3
Effective plasma handheld device for manual use
PiezoBrush PZ3 has been designed as a compact plasma handheld device for use in laboratories, predevelopment and assembly of small series. With a maximum power consumption of 18 W, the Piezoelectric Direct Discharge (PDD®) technology is used to generate cold active plasma at a low temperature. The heart of this portable plasma device is the TDK piezo plasma generator CeraPlas™ – a high-voltage discharge device for generating cold atmospheric-pressure plasma. Plasma is used to increase the surface energy of many materials with high efficiency, as well as to reduce germs and odors.

Application examples
Piezoeletric cold atmospheric plasma induces apoptosis and autophagy
Piezoeletric cold atmospheric plasma induces apoptosis and autophagy in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells through blocking glycolysis and AKT/mTOR/HIF-1α pathway
Plasma treatment for improved print quality in coding and marking printing
Plasma is becoming increasingly important in coding and marking printing, as the printing of data matrix codes requires high print quality and abrasion resistance.

Modules
Different surfaces have to be activated with the appropriate accessories to achieve an ideal result. Currently five different modules are available for the PiezoBrush PZ3 plasma handheld device. The PDD technology used to generate the cold plasma in PiezoBrush PZ3 is based on the discharge of high electric fields. Therefore, the electrical conductivity of the component to be treated is of decisive importance when choosing the modules.
