Sulfimax GX H2S Headspace Module
Simplified H2S Detection in Solid and Semi-Solid Samples

Product description
The determination of volatile hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in solid and semi-solid samples has never been easier. The Sulfimax GX system from ECH can be extended with a manual Headspace Module to enable selective and precise H₂S analysis.
The sample is placed into a glass vial and heated within the headspace unit. Depending on the sample type, the heating temperature can be adjusted between 30 °C and 180 °C. The volatile H2S is then transferred via gas circulation to the Sulfimax GX sensor, where it is detected with high sensitivity.
Even extremely low H2S concentrations are reliably measured, with no sample preparation required.
Short measurement times ensure high sample throughput. The compact, robust design and intuitive operation make the system ideal for use by personnel at all skill levels.
Key Features:
- Simple H2S analysis in solids and semi-solids
- Adjustable heating from 30°C to 180°C
- No sample preparation needed
- Detection of very low H2S concentrations
- Fast measurement cycles and high throughput
- Compact, durable, and user-friendly

Applications
- Solid samples, e.g. elementary sulphur, sludge, bitumen
- Liquid samples such as wastewater with sludge particles
- Semi-solid samples
- Oil samples and waste

Advantages
- Analysis of the original sample
- No sample preparation
- Minimized cross sensitivity through the indirect method
- Suitable for on-site use

Features and Results
- Measurement of the sample in the sealed 20 mL vial - no contact of the sample with components of the analysis system
- Gas extraction technique for rapid release and separation of H2S from the sample
- Temperature control from 30 to 180 °C
- Measuring time from 2 to approx. 15 min, depending on the H2S content of the sample
- Double-needle system for gas transfer
- Bypass circuit for continuous gas flow
