Development and application of electrochemical flow-through detector with renewable working material
Mika, Jan ; Dejmková, Hana (advisor) ; Schwarzová, Karolina (referee) ; Metelka, Radovan (referee)
The aim of this thesis was development and initial testing of new porous electrochemical detector for flow-through arrangements, especially for flow injection analysis (FIA) and liquid chromatography. One of the most advantageous properties of the detector is simple renewal of working material and thus its suitability for determination of strongly passivating substances. Glassy carbon microbeads and copper microparticles were tested as a working material within this study. Initially, basic electrochemical properties of the glassy carbon-based detector were examined by FIA using hydroquinone and potassium ferrocyanide as model substances. For both model substances high degree of conversion was achieved (around 100 %), and thus it was concluded that glassy carbon-based detector can be considered as coulometric. Hereafter, practical application of the carbon-based detector are presented on five electrochemically active substances closely related to the human medicine and pharmacy - thymol, tyrosine, sulfamethizole and vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) simultaneously determinined with homovanillic acid (HVA). Complexity of instrumental arrangement of flow-through methods had been increasing consecutively up to the HPLC determination with gradient programme. It was proved that the carbon-based detector is...

Utilization of potential programs in flow electrochemical determination of biologically active organic compounds
Bavol, Dmytro ; Dejmková, Hana (advisor) ; Josypčuk, Bohdan (referee) ; Metelka, Radovan (referee)
9 Abstract In this Ph.D. thesis possibilities of using our proposed potential programs for a multiple-pulse amperometry and a fast scan differential pulse voltammetry in combination with flow systems are presented. The development of new sensitive amperometric and voltammetric methods for the determination of oxidisable biologically active organic compounds is another aim of this work. In the first part of the work, the flow injection system and multiple-pulse amperometric detection were employed to develop and optimize a simple, low-cost, and rapid method for the simultaneous determination of natural and synthetic antioxidants. This technique involves the application of an appropriate potential waveform consisting of a suitable sequence of pulses on a single working electrode, thus allowing distinguish the analytes in a mixture with no need of separation. Conditions for the determination of antioxidants and modelling of the potential program were tested and studied, respectively. Second part of the work describes and characterizes the application of the fast scan differential pulse voltammetry (FSDPV) in combination with the flow systems. FSDPV is the electroanalytical technique that use high scan rate to record voltammograms within several milliseconds and ensures high temporal resolution. This technique...
