Fig. 1—The ISO-H2S-2 sensor works with WPI free radical analyzers to monitor hydrogen sulfide. INTRODUCTION The basic structure of the ISO-H2S-2 sensor is shown in Fig. 2. It consists of an internal H S-sensing working/reference electrode combination. This electrode fits...
Concealed damage should be reported at once to the carrier and an inspection requested. Please read the section entitled “Claims and Returns” on page 15 of this manual. Please contact WPI Customer Service if any parts are missing at 941.371.1003 or customerservice@wpiinc.com.
Probe Select switch to H S (150mV). Plug in the ISO-H2S-2 sensor and allow it to polarize up to 12 hours to reach a stable baseline current of <75000pA before it is used for measurement. During initial polarization the current is typically high, but within an hour it will be- gin to decrease rapidly.
Immerse the ISO-H2S-2 sensor in the solution and secure it in an electrode holder such as WPI’s Pro-Guide (WPI #47510, 47520, 47530, 47540) or a micro- manipulator.

ISO-H2S-2 The reaction produces H S gas. When H S gas passes through the gas permeable membrane, it generates an output current that is measurable, and the results can then be graphed. This corresponds to 1µM, 2µM and 4µM final concentrations, respectively.

Using a third party spreadsheet with graphing capability like Microsoft Excel, it is possible to ® generate a linear regression analysis that will display the equation and the R coefficient.
If the sensor was used in a protein-rich solution, the membrane tip should first be soaked in a protease solution for several minutes to remove protein build-up, and then in distilled water. Enzymatic detergent (Enzol, WPI #7363) can also be used. The membrane sleeves can also be sterilized chemically using an appropriate disinfectant (Cidex, WPI #7364).
Additional membrane sleeves (WPI#600016) may be pur- chased separately. Dip the internal electrode 1–2cm into the ISO-H2S electrolyte (WPI #100084) provided in the start-up kit. The current will rise rapidly offscale. Using the MicroFil™ nonmetallic syringe needle (WPI #MF28G67-5) and 1mL plastic syringe (included in the Startup kit) inject approximately 100µL of electrolyte directly into...
(1M). If the current increases dramatically or is offscale then the membrane integrity is not good and a new membrane will have to be fitted. Additional ISO-H2S-2 membranes (packages of 4) are available (WPI #600016).
