Jk. Furne et al., Measurement of fecal sulfide using gas chromatography and a sulfur chemiluminescence detector, J CHROMAT B, 754(1), 2001, pp. 253-258
We describe a simple technique to measure sulfide in fecal homogenates (or
any other liquid milieu), which involves acidification followed by the G.C.
measurement of H2S in a gas space equilibrated with a small quantity of ho
mogenate. An internal standard of (ZnS)-S-35 added to the homogenate permit
s correction for incomplete recovery of H,S in the gas space. The use of a
sulfur chemiluminescence detector, which specifically and sensitively respo
nds to sulfur-containing compounds, greatly facilitates this measurement. P
