Order code Diameters
ISO-H2S-2 2 mm
ISO-H2S-100-CXX  100 μm

Benefits

  • A dry sensor that works like a 2mm wet sensor
  • Response Time: ~5 s
  • Detection Limit: < 5 nM
  • Sensitivity: 1-4 pA/nM

Applications

  • Measure biological hydrogen sulfide in vivo or in vitro in tissues or biological media
  • Measure hydrogen sulfide released from drugs
  • Cell culture, cell suspensions, arteries, in vivo applications

Hydrogen sulfide and oxygen

Like nitric oxide, hydrogen sulfide is a potent vascular signal that can mediate vasoconstriction or vasorelaxation depending on the oxygen level and tissue. In the rat aorta, hydrogen sulfide concentrations that mediate rapid constriction at oxygen level will cause rapid relaxation at lower oxygen levels.

Sensor details

The ISO-H2S-100 is a hydrogen sulfide sensor with a 100 µm diameter tip. It is designed like the dry microsensors, however, it works like a traditional 2 mm sensor. The sensor can be ordered in a variety of lengths from 2–5 mm. It incorporates WPI’s proprietary combination electrode technology in which the hydrogen sulfide-sensing element and separate reference electrode are encased within a single shielded sensor design.

The ISO-H2S-100 offers several advantages:

  • Requires no sleeves or filling solutions
  • Durable for long-term use, because of its platinum wire construction
  • Rapid response time
  • Broad linear range (Range is based on the length of the sensor tip)

About Hydrogen Sulfide

Although hydrogen sulfide is generally thought of in terms of a poisonous gas, it is endogenously produced in many mammalian tissues. It has been detected in micromolar amounts in blood and brain tissue. Hydrogen sulfide is reported as having a broad range of biological functions and although its potential to participate in cell signaling is clear, this biological role is not well understood. Hydrogen sulfide is strongly anagolous to nitric oxide because they share several physical and metabolic properties.
