Voltametric Determination of 4-Nitrophenol at a Bismuth Film Electrode
Hausner, Jiří ; Barek, Jiří (advisor) ; Dejmková, Hana (referee)
This Bachelor Thesis is focussed on the study of electrochemical behaviour of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and the search for optimal conditions for its voltammetric determination at a bismuth film-modified gold electrode (BiF-AuE). Voltammetric behaviour of 4-NP (c = 1×10-4 mol L-1 ) was investigated using direct current voltammetry (DCV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in dependence on the pH of the medium used (Britton-Robinson buffers). For both techniques, Britton-Robinson buffer of pH 7.0 was chosen as the optimum medium. Repeatability of the determination of 4-NP (c = 1×10-4 mol L-1 ) was 0.6 % and 0.9 % for DCV and DPV, respectively. Calibration dependences of 4-NP were measured in the concentration range from 1×10-6 to 1×10-4 mol L-1 under the optimum conditions. Attained limits of quantification (LQs) were 7.6×10-7 mol L-1 and 1.5×10-6 mol L-1 for DCV and DPV, respectively. The applicability of the newly developed voltammetric methods for the determination of 4-NP was verified on model samples of drinking water with LQ 7.5×10-6 mol L-1 for DCV at the BiF-AuE and 1.4×10-6 mol L-1 for DPV at the BiF-AuE.

Skalová, Štěpánka ; Barek, Jiří (advisor) ; Labuda, Ján (referee) ; Trnková, Libuše (referee)
Present Ph.D. Thesis is focused on the development of electrochemical methods for determination of anticancer drugs using various types of membranes for their preliminary separation. Furthermore, this Thesis reports the study of transport mechanisms of heavy metals in the presence of phytochelatins across biological membranes. Sodium anthraquinone-2-sulphonate (AQS) was used as a model compound for its similar structure with anthraquinone-based (AQ-based) anticancer drugs (doxo/daunorubicin) and also due to its better availability. All these compounds can be easily electrochemically oxidized and/or reduced. Redox behaviour of AQS was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in a cathodic region on mercury meniscus modified (m-AgSAE) and polished silver solid amalgam (p-AgSAE) electrodes, Obtained results were used for the development of a micro-volume voltammetric cell (MVVC). Its applicability for voltammetric determination of anticancer drugs was verified by using doxorubicin (DX) as a model substance. The second part of this Thesis deals with therapeutic monitoring of anticancer drugs in the blood circulation of the patients. For pilot experiments, a liquid-flow system with dialysis catheter and amperometric detection was used. The flow rate of carrier...
Voltammetric Determination of 5-Nitroimidazole - The Structural Unit of Nitroimidazole Drugs
Šmídková, Monika ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Fischer, Jan (referee)
Presented Diploma Thesis deals with the study of electrochemical behavior of 5-nitroimidazole (5-NI), with the search for optimal conditions for its determination using techniques of DC voltammetry (DCV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at a mercury meniscus modified silver solid amalgam electrode (m-AgSAE) and at a boron-doped diamond film electrode (BDDFE), and with the comparison of reached limits of quantification (LQs). The optimal conditions found for measuring calibration dependences of 5-NI at the m-AgSAE in deionized water were as follows: Britton-Robinson buffer of pH 7.0 and 10.0 for DCV and DPV, respectively. At both thechniques, it is advisable to use an electrochemical regeneration of the electrode surface by the application of a couple of regeneration potentials Ereg,1 = 0 mV and Ereg,2 = −800 mV. The calibration dependences were measured in the concentration range from 1·10−6 to 1·10−4 mol·l−1 , with the LQs of 1.0·10−6 mol·l−1 for DCV at the m-AgSAE and 1.5·10−6 mol·l−1 for DPV at the m-AgSAE. The concentration dependences of 5-NI at the BDDFE were measured using the DCV technique in the BR buffer of pH 3.0. For the DPV technique, the optimal medium seemed to be the BR buffer of pH 2.0, however, because of the presence of an interfering peak in the supporting electrolyte,...

Yosypchuk, Oksana ; Barek, Jiří (advisor) ; Nesměrák, Karel (referee)
This thesis is concentrated on the optimization of conditions for determination of genotoxic environmental pollutants whitch belong to derivatives of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons − 1-nitropyrene (1-NP), 1-aminopyrene (1-AP) and 1-hydroxypyrene (1-HP). All three compounds were determined by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at boron-doped diamond film electrode in water-methanolic solutions. Further, 1-AP and 1-HP were determined in a model sample of urine. For this purpose, effective separative techniques such as solid phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography with reverse phase and amperometric detection at above mentioned type of electrode were used. Limits of detection of all tested compounds in water-methanolic solutions are 9⋅10−8 −3⋅10−7 mol dm−3 using DPV and 1⋅10−8 mol dm−3 for 1-HP and 1-AP in model sample of urine determined by HPLC with amperometric detection.
Large-Surface Carbon Film Electrode - A Novel Sensor for Voltammetric Determination of Electrochemically Oxidizable Organic Compounds
Šmejkalová, Hana ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Dejmková, Hana (referee)
of the Diploma Thesis In this Diploma Thesis, the electrochemical behavior of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) was studied at a newly prepared large-surface carbon film electrode (ls-CFE) using techniques of DC voltammetry (DCV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) with the aim to develop sensitive analytical methods for its determination. Voltammetric behavior of 4-NP was investigated in the region of anodic potentials, in dependence on the pH of the medium used (realized using Britton-Robinson buffer). The optimum pH values for the determination of 4-NP were chosen as follows: pH 3.0 (for DCV) and pH 7.0 (for DPV). During anodic oxidation of 4-NP on the ls-CFE at the concentration of the analyte of 1·10-4 mol/l, the passivation of the electrode surface occurred. Thus, it was decided to record series of measurements always at a new carbon film. Using the sample of 4-NP (at the concentration of 1·10-4 mol/l), the repeatability of the application of individual carbon films was tested, with obtained RSD values of 3.7% and 3.6% for DCV and DPV, respectively. Under optimum conditions, the calibration dependences of 4-NP were measured in the concentration range from 1·10-6 to 1·10-4 mol/l, with the limits of quantification (LQs) of 1.5·10-6 mol/l (for DCV at the ls-CFE) and 4.6·10-7 mol/l (for DPV at the...
Voltammetric determination of 4-aminopyridine
Kudláčková, Kateřina ; Zima, Jiří (advisor) ; Fischer, Jan (referee)
In this thesis, the voltammetric behavior of 4-aminopyridine was investigated using carbon paste electrode. Differential pulse voltammetry was used for the study. Measurements were carried out in Britton-Robinson butter medium with different pH values. Optimal pH value found was 9. The electrode passivation during consecutive measurements of 4-aminopyridine without the surface renewal was confirmed, while the accumulation time had no influence on peak heights of 4-aminopyridine. Limit of detection was 8,76×10-6 mol dm-3 and limit of quantification was 1,85×10-5 mol dm-3 of 4-aminopyridne under optimal conditions. The linearity of the calibration curve was evaluated using the correlation coefficient.
Voltammetric Determination of Genotoxic 6-Nitrochrysene at a Mercury Meniscus Modified Silver Solid Amalgam Electrode
Šmídková, Monika ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Fischer, Jan (referee)
This Bachelor Thesis is devoted to the study of electrochemical behavior of 6-nitrochrysene (6-NCH) and to the finding of the optimum conditions for its determination using direct current voltammetry (DCV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at a mercury meniscus modified silver solid amalgam electrode (m-AgSAE). For measuring the concentration dependences of 6-NCH, the optimum medium methanol - BR buffer pH 9.0 (1:1) and the proper regeneration potentials Ereg,1 = 0 mV, Ereg,2 = -600 mV have been chosen for DCV at m-AgSAE and the medium methanol - BR buffer pH 10.0 (1:1) and the proper regeneration potentials Ereg,1 = 0 mV, Ereg,2 = -750 mV have been chosen for DPV at m-AgSAE. The concentration dependence was found to be linear only for the lowest concentration range of 10-7 mol·l-1 . In the concentration range of 10-6 mol·l-1 , the concentration dependences observed were polynomial. This result indicates a possible adsorption of 6-NCH on the surface of working electrode. Reached limits of quantification (LQ) were 1·10-7 mol·l-1 for DCV at m-AgSAE and 5·10-8 mol·l-1 for DPV at m-AgSAE. For comparison, the concentration dependence of 6-NCH was measured in methanol using UV-VIS spectrophotometry. Reached LQ ~ 1·10-7 mol·l-1 is comparable with LQs reached using DCV and DPV techniques.
Voltammetric determination of benzophenone-3 at carbon paste electrode
Molitor, Vít ; Zima, Jiří (advisor) ; Navrátil, Tomáš (referee)
A method for analysing benzophenone-3 on carbon paste electrode was developed. As a solvent a mixture Britton-Robinson buffer and methanol was used. The pH value of 12 was determined as optimal for further measurements. It was also found out that methanol added to the analyte solution did not negatively influence the voltammetric measurement. To decrease the limit of benzophenone-3 determination the accumulation of the analyte in the electrode surface was studied. The accumulation time of 300 seconds and accumulation potential of +400 mV were used as optimal. When measured under optimal coniditions the limit of detection was 6×10-7 M in deionised water and 5,5×10-7 M in drinking water. Real sample was measured using differential pulse voltammetry and spectrophotometry.
Electrochemical determination of 6-thioguanine at boron doped diamond film electrod
Humpolíková, Jiřina ; Fischer, Jan (advisor) ; Schwarzová, Karolina (referee)
This master's thesis is focused on the determination of 6-thioguanine (6-T) by DC voltammetry (DCV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and flow injection analysis with electrochemical detection (FIA-ED) on a boron doped diamond electrode (BDDFE). The optimum conditions for determination of 6-T were found and under these conditions, concentration dependences were measured and the limits of quantification (LOQ) were calculated for each method. Medium of 60% methanol and phosphate buffer (PB) pH 2,0 was chosen as optimum for DCV and DPV determination of 6-T at BDDFE. For both DCV and DPV, the linear concentration dependences were obtained in concentration ranges of 6-T from 2 µmol·l-1 to 10 µmol·l-1 with LOQ 0,9 µmol·l-1 for DCV and 1,5 µmol·l-1 for DPV. Lower LOQ was achieved in PB pH 2,0, where LOQ was 0,6 µmol·l-1 for both DCV and DPV, but the problem was lower repeatability. In PB pH 2 6-T was determined by DCV in drinking and river water with LOQ 1,3 µmol·l-1 in both drinking and river water. The possibility of solid phase extraction was investigated as a method for preliminary separation of 6-T from urine. For FIA under optimized conditions (polarization potential 1300 mV, flow rate 5 ml·min1 and sample volume 50 µl) the linear concentrations dependences were obtained in concentration ranges...
Voltammetric Determination of Nimesulide Using Graphite Composite Electrode
Hubáčková, Monika ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Fischer, Jan (referee)
This Diploma Thesis deals with the study of the electrochemical behaviour of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug nimesulide. The aim of this work is to find optimal conditions for the determination of nimesulide using voltammetric techniques direct current voltammetry (DCV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in oxidation and reduction potential regions. An ultra-trace graphite electrode (UTGE) was used as the working electrode. The pH dependence was measured to select the optimal pH, the probable mechanism of reactions was determined, the repeatability of the measurements was checked, and finally the calibration dependences were constructed and evaluated in the selected media. BR buffer media of pH 2 and 4 for DCV and pH 2 and 5 for DPV were selected to measure calibration curves in the concentration range of 0.1-100 µmol L−1 . The detection limits for both methods DCV and DPV at the UTGE were in order of about 10−7 mol L−1 , which are values corresponding to alternative voltametric methods that also use unmodified working electrodes.
