Abstract A novel microplasma device, which generates discharge in a Poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) cavity chamber with two normal syringe needles, serving as both gas channels and electrodes, was prepared by an innovative casting technology. This microplasma device maintains a stable discharge even after working under large periods of time (4 h) and even if impurity deposition is produced on the needle electrode tips. The cavity discharge chamber of this device can also be used as a sampling compartment. 14 kinds of volatile organic compound (VOC) samples, with 6 series depending on carbon chain structures and boiling points (from 34.6 to 232.9 °C), can directly diffuse into the plasma by using a filter paper. The filter paper was placed right under the microplasma zone in the chamber. Most VOC samples could be well detected (
