1. A system for performing cold atmospheric plasma treatment on target tissue comprising:
an RF energy source;
a low frequency conversion unit;
a gas control device configured to control flow of a gas;
a processor configured to control said RF energy source, said low frequency conversion unit and said gas control device to apply energy from said low frequency conversion unit to gas flowing from said gas control module to generate reactive species that attack cancer cells but do not damage healthy cells;
a display;
a graphical user interface displayed on said display for controlling cold atmospheric plasma procedures;
a data storage unit; and
a database stored in said data storage unit, said database comprising cell line identifying data and cold atmospheric plasma settings associated with the cell line identifying data;
wherein, the graphical user interface has input means for a surgeon to enter cell line identifier data and in response to the entry of cell line identifier data the processor is configured to automatically access the database in said data storage and adopt cold atmospheric plasma settings associated with the entered cell line identifier data in said database and display the adopted cold atmospheric plasma settings on the display.
