Abstract
An apparatus for emitting a controlled electric field upon a microbe-containing surface, and method of use thereof. The apparatus includes a control board and an electric field emitting component. The control board is configured to transmit an electric current to the emitting component, causing an electric field to be emitted therefrom. The electric field is of sufficient strength such that, when the emitting component of the apparatus is positioned proximate the microbe-containing surface, the electric field causes irreversible permeabilization of the cell membrane of microbes on the microbe-containing surface.
