Presentation / Conference
Robinson, G. M., Thorn, R., Hancock, C., & Reynolds, D. M. (2013, May). Low light optical detection of whole-cell bioluminescent bacterial bioreporters for visualisation of surface decontamination using nonthermal plasma. Paper presented at 3rd International Conference on Bio-Sensing Technology, Sitges, Spain

Introduction: Maintenance of a clean, uncontaminated healthcare environment is instrumental in the delivery of modern healthcare. Nonthermal plasma is a technology with potential applications for sterilisation and disinfection in biological and medi...

The effect of long-term storage on the physiochemical and bactericidal properties of electrochemically activated solutions (2013)
Journal Article
Robinson, G., Thorn, R., & Reynolds, D. (2013). The effect of long-term storage on the physiochemical and bactericidal properties of electrochemically activated solutions. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 14(1), 457-469. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms14010457

Electrochemically activated solutions (ECAS) are generated by electrolysis of NaCl solutions, and demonstrate broad spectrum antimicrobial activity and high environmental compatibility. The biocidal efficacy of ECAS at the point of production is wide...
