Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) jet generated by the plasma source at 2-6 kV ac voltages with frequencies of 10-50 kHz demonstrate the different modes of operation. Depending on the voltage frequency and amplitude, some streamers in the plasma jet are short and decay before they approach the treated surface. In this case, the effect on the viability of cancer cells when exposed to CAP jet strongly depends on the mode of operation of the discharge or, in other words, on how many times the streamers hit the bio-target during the treatment. The effect on different modes on cancer cells A549 viability is reported.
