Initial evaluation of oxidizer method for sterilization

This topic can be divided into two main categories: methods vaporizing a liquid, e.g. H2O2, then heating the mixture into a plasma, and plasmification of gas directly. A system that has inputs only consisting of air and electricity would be the ideal scenario as it means it would function without the challenges of a liquid supply chain.

Before proceeding down a path to build any sterilization system there needs to be a biological or virological indicator that can be used as a control. Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores (Botelho-Almeida 2008) were used in a few different studies due to their stericidal resistance. 3m has a flourescent tagged version which may prove useful for this purpose.
