  • Title: H2S analysis in biological samples using gas chromatography with sulfur chemiluminescence detection.
    Author: Vitvitsky V, Banerjee R.
    Journal: Methods Enzymol; 2015; 554():111-23. PubMed ID: 25725519.
    Abstract:
    Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a metabolite and signaling molecule in biological tissues that regulates many physiological processes. Reliable and sensitive methods for H2S analysis are necessary for a better understanding of H2S biology and for the pharmacological modulation of H2S levels in vivo. In this chapter, we describe the use of gas chromatography coupled to sulfur chemiluminescence detection to measure the rates of H2S production and degradation by tissue homogenates at physiologically relevant concentrations of substrates. This method allows separation of H2S from other sulfur compounds and provides sensitivity of detection to ~15 pg (or 0.5 pmol) of H2S per injected sample.
