Abstract: An apparatus for emitting a controlled electric field upon a microbe-containing surface, and method of use thereof. The apparatus includes a control board and an electric field emitting component. The control board is configured to transmit an electric current to the emitting component, causing an electric field to be emitted therefrom. The electric field is of sufficient strength such that, when the emitting component of the apparatus is positioned proximate the microbe-containing surface, the electric field causes irreversible permeabilization of the cell membrane of microbes on the microbe-containing surface.

Abstract: An apparatus (10, 50, 80, 300, 500, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500,1700, 1810) and method are provided. The method includes for example, treating a liquid in an apparatus to increase suspension properties of the liquid and dispensing the treated liquid (250, 302, 306, 308, 1414, 1504, 1917) from the apparatus to a surface or volume of space (252, 304, 1506) so as to create an electrically conductive path by the treated liquid from the apparatus to the surface or volume of space. During the step of dispensing, an alternating electric field (E) is generated from the apparatus to the surface or volume of space, through the liquid along the conductive path, wherein the electric field is sufficient to destroy at least one microorganism (256) from the surface or in the volume of space.
