Abstract
Endogenous H2S in the mammalian body is considered to play the role of a vascular dilator in the cardiovascular system. The physiological role of hydrogen sulfide depends on its in vivo level. As such, the measurement of hydrogen sulfide with nano-quantity vibration becomes an important subject. Current measurement usually needs a large number of samples, and the process is complex. So, it is important to develop a new sensitive method. Carbon nanotubes can sense the tiny amount of H2S in aqueous, as well as in serum, and the proteins in serum seem not to affect this measurement, so it may be possible to use carbon nanotube as a sensor to detect the tiny difference of H2S in mammalian bodies.
