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)
