Our Atmospheric Plasma Solution for
TREATMENT OF GLASS SYRINGE WITH DOWNSTREAM PLASMA
ABOUT Plasma-Facilitated Chemical Modifications
Controlled surface reactions at atmospheric pressure
The plasma affects the surface by either delivering the reactive species required for the modification, or by delivering energy to the surface to initiate a reaction as is the case with plasma-facilitated cross-linking. This atmospheric plasma process can be used to quickly improve the adhesion of two materials. An air plasma treatment of around 100 milliseconds is often all that is needed to greatly enhance adhesion and bonding on difficult-to-bond materials. Even Teflon and silicone surfaces can be plasma treated to provide reliable adhesion using atmospheric plasma technology.
At APS, we have developed an in-line system capable of meeting these needs at atmospheric pressure. Our atmospheric plasma downstream (APD) system rapidly modifies the surface of even the most challenging materials.
3 KEY BENEFITS OF PLASMA SURFACE MODIFICATION
THE APD SYSTEM IS ACTIVELY DEPLOYED IN THE BIOMEDICAL INDUSTRY
Precision surface modification
The Atmospheric Plasma Downstream (APD) system rapidly treats complex geometries using a diffuse, controllable plasma discharge.
Get the Benefits of Vacuum Plasma Treatment Without the Expense
Treat the entire surface with a diffuse atmospheric plasma without the need for expensive and production limiting vacuum plasma technology, lowering both operation cost and time.
Deployable in a fast-paced industrial LINE
Proven plasma crosslinking and immobilization of silicone oil syringe lubricants to reduce foreign particle contamination by more than 85%. The process required minimal changes to the production line and no changes to any of the product's components which kept all of the quality systems intact.

How Lubricant Particulate Contamination Brought One Biopharmaceutical Launch to a Screeching Halt
TriboFilm realized that replacing silicone oil with another liquid would not be the solution. Instead, our their team wondered: what if we designed a lubricant that attaches to the surfaces of the prefilled device and use Atmospheric Plasma Solutions technology to acheive the cross-linking.

designed for industrial applications
The APD Series of plasma power supplies and applicators is designed for industrial applications requiring between 10 and 500 watts of plasma power. The advanced internal process control software can be configured for automated production use or manual control for process development, through either the front panel or remote control through standard industry remote interfaces. Internal monitoring hardware provides a high level of control of the plasma process, to ensure high-quality, consistent performance.
