Abstract: Plasma treatment devices for reducing bacterial viability, enhancing stem growth, enhancing root growth or increasing germination times are disclosed herein. In addition, a treated sprout plant treated with a plasma activate medium or plasma with decreased bacterial viability relative to an untreated sprout plant. The treated sprout plant has at least a 1-log reduction in bacterial viability relative to the untreated sprout plant. Methods and apparatuses of producing the treated sprout plant are also provided.

Abstract: System and method for printing a three-dimensional object include a 3D printing device (100) and a plasma applicator (102). In some embodiments the plasma applicator is rotatably connected to the 3D printing device and may apply plasma to a molten layer of 3D printing material immediately after the material is laid, or to a solidified layer immediately before the next layer is laid. In some embodiments a second plasma applicator is included for application of plasma both before and after each layer. In some embodiments plasma is applied to the final layer of a finished 3D printed object.
