ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for establishing a sulfide bath includes a sulfide supply means for introducing sulfide into water for a water bath, a water chemistry monitoring means for monitoring at least a sulfide concentration of water from the water bath, an electronic controller connected with the sulfide supply means and the water chemistry monitoring means, wherein the electronic controller is configured to control the sulfide supply means to regulate the sulfide concentration in the water bath based on input from the water chemistry monitoring means. A variation of the apparatus is portable and can be used in connection with existing water baths. Another variation of the apparatus is for preserving biological materials.
