Abstract
A pulsed electric field system for inactivation of biological agents on a dielectric sheet material. The pulsed electric field (PEF) system includes a dielectric layer located between an active electrode and a ground electrode, wherein said dielectric layer has a uniform surface profile. A pulsed electric field is provided in a gap between the dielectric layer and the active electrode. A transport assembly moves the dielectric sheet material through the gap. In a preferred embodiment, the system also includes sensors for sensing the position of the dielectric sheet material as it passes through the pulsed electric field.
