An arrangement for sterilizing objects by using a low-pressure plasma. The arrangement includes an evacuable chamber for holding the objects, which evacuable chamber can be connected to a conduit for gas to be ionized. A high frequency transmitting device with an antenna system is provided for inductive generating of an alternating current plasma in the chamber. The antenna system includes two plasma generating coils spaced apart from each another.

Device for sterilizing objects

Described is a sterilization chamber for sterilizing objects for application in a process in which a vapour composite, composed of water vapour and hydrogen peroxide vapour, is guided without a carrier gas flow into the sterilization chamber in which a vacuum prevails, whereby the vapour composite settles on the surfaces of the objects to be sterilized and on the surfaces of the sterilization chamber in the form of a condensation layer, which is suctioned off by means of further evacuation of the sterilization chamber after a certain reaction time. In accordance with the present invention, the surfaces of the sterilization chamber consist of poor heat-conducting, water-repellent material.
