Hi Daniel, maybe this invention of the Carl von Ossietzky university maybe helpful: https://www.innowi.de/de/unsere_patente/?we_objectID=102 (sorry, but only in german). For translation use DeepL (https://www.deepl.com/translate).

Henrik Rasmus Andersen

Markus, I think the method described only measures hydrogen gas (H2) and not the hydrogen in organic molecules.

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for the answers. In the meantime, I found a solution which fits for me. It's the Liebig's method.
