Virucidal activity of three NTP-generating devices tested using Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), influenza A virus (IAV), human rhinovirus (HRV) and human adenovirus (HAdV). (a) Laboratory prototype 1, (b) Laboratory prototype 2, (c) Plasmatico v1.0. NTP exposure was performed after contamination of parafilm squares by virus suspensions and their insertion into each device. Results are normalized to controls and expressed as relative percentages of infectious virus (rel. %) ± standard error of mean. The log10 TCID50 decreases are shown in Supplementary Table S1. ***:p < 0.0005- , **:p < 0.005—, *:p < 0.05—, n.s.—not significant (p > 0.05).
