Expertise in cold plasma

Founded based on 25 years of research into cold plasma, we are pioneers in the industrialisation of cold plasma for disinfection of sensitive materials. With our patent pending method we are able to adapt and precisely control our core cold plasma technology for applications within different industries, from food and medicinal materials to sensitive electronic devices.

How Plasma Fresh outperforms other technologies

Proven efficacy

Reduces pathogens by 1,000x to 1,000,000x depending on the application, matching or exceeding UV, chemical and radio frequency.

Cost savings

Our technology consumes very low power (up to 90% less than steam), requires no consumables eliminating the need for handling and disposing hazardous chemicals and has short operational cycles.

Operational safety

Disinfecting agents generated on-demand at point of use, thus zero exposure to hazardous consumables such as Ethylene oxide or hydrogen peroxide.

Product quality

It is a dry process at room temperature and pressure. Our exclusive, patent-pending method delivers unparalleled control of the plasma to target pathogens without damages to the treated material.

How it works

Creating lightning in a bottle

Cold plasma is the fourth state of matter and is created by generating and controlling lightning on a small scale. Common atmospheric air is ionised into more than 60 reactive substances such as ozone, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl, which then kill pathogens such as bacteria and moulds on contact with any surface.

Precision cold plasma control

Although cold plasma has been a validated technology for decades, its industrialisation is still emerging, as the systems are inherently difficult to control and stabilise at scale. We solved this problem by developing and patenting a method for the precision control of the plasma.

Industries

Food industry

Disinfection and potential shelf-life extension of sensitive food ingredients such as soft fruits, prepared meats, nuts and powdered ingredients.

Medicinal products

Disinfection of medicinal herbs to meet strict regulatory standards.

R&D labs

Disinfection of sensitive electronic devices without the use of hazardous chemicals such as ethylene oxide and hydrogen peroxide.

Backed by deeptech investors

The result of 25 years of research into cold plasma, our researchers Professor James Walsh and Dr. Aaron Dickenson span out Plasma Fresh from the University of Liverpool in September 2023 with investment from the institution.

Since then, we’ve secured three very competitive grants from Innovate UK, not to mention investment from three prestigious venture capital firms based here in the UK, namely Northern Gritstone, Lyva Labs and Deepbridge Capital.

No problem, just get in touch with us and one of our experts will be happy to assist you.

What is cold plasma technology?

Cold plasma technology is the ionisation of atmospheric air using only electrical tension. This process transforms the air into highly reactive substances such as (ozone, hydrogen peroxide, etc.) that are able to effectively kill pathogens.

Is Plasma Fresh’s system safe for industrial processes (food, pharma, etc.)?

Yes, our technology is specifically designed for use in complex industrial processes, such as food processing environments, ensuring safety and hygiene.

What are the environmental benefits of using Plasma Fresh’s products?

Our technology removes the need for water and toxic chemicals, lowers energy consumption, and helps manufacturers meet ESG goals.
