  • Title: Micro gas analysis system for measurement of atmospheric hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide.
    Author: Ohira S, Toda K.
    Journal: Lab Chip; 2005 Dec; 5(12):1374-9. PubMed ID: 16286968.
    Abstract:
    A honeycomb structure microchannel scrubber was developed to achieve efficient and stable gas collection. A thin porous membrane was pasted on a microchannel by the adhesive force of a fresh polydimethylsiloxane surface. The microchannel scrubber achieved much more efficient gas collection than conventional impingers and diffusion scrubbers. Two sets of the microchannel scrubbers and detectors were integrated in a 10 cm x 9 cm plastic board to create a micro gas analysis system (microGAS) for simultaneous measurements of H2S and SO2. The whole system including a battery was incorporated in a carrying case 34 cm W x 16 cm D x 17 cm H for use in the field. Liquid flows at 30 microl min(-1) were obtained by bimetal micropumps. The estimated detection limits were 0.1 ppbv for H2S and 1 ppbv for SO2. The system was demonstrated for real atmospheric gas analysis, and the results agreed well with data concurrently obtained by ion chromatography coupled with a cylindrical diffusion scrubber. The system we developed allowed automated continuous analyses in the field and achieved a much higher time resolution compared to those by ion chromatographic analysis.
