Voltammetric Techniques for Analysis in a Single Drop of a Solution
Gajdar, J. ; Goněc, T. ; Jampílek, J. ; Brázdová, Marie ; Bábková, Zuzana ; Fojta, Miroslav ; Barek, J. ; Fischer, J.
This contribution describes miniaturization of voltammetric methods and some of the main problems caused by reducing the sample volume to 20 mu L. This study was carried out in dimethyl sulfoxide solutions and buffered aqueous solutions with 10% DMSO at a glassy carbon electrode. A novel antibiotic agent, 1-hydroxy-N-(4-nitrophenyl) naphthalene-2-carboxamide, was used as a model substance. This analyte was determined by cathodic and anodic voltammetry. Elimination of the negative influence of dissolved oxygen was performed in various manners. Two most effective methods were square wave voltammetry that can be used in the presence of dissolved oxygen and removal of oxygen in a microcell with nitrogen atmosphere inside.

Determination of Inorganic Arsenic in Samples of Marine Origin
Marschner, Karel ; Matoušek, Tomáš ; Dědina, Jiří ; Musil, Stanislav
A fast screening method for determination of inorganic arsenic in marine samples was developed. This method is based on selective\nhydride generationanddetectionby inductively coupled plasmamass spectrometry. Using a high concentration of hydrochloric acid\ntogether with hydrogen peroxide for hydride generation leads to selective conversion of inorganic arsenic species into arsane. The\naccuracy of this method was verified by comparative analyse by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with hydride generationandatomic\nfluorescence detection.

Voltammetric Determination of Tumor Biomarkers using Flow Injection Analysis with Amperometric Detection
Makrlíková, Anna ; Matysik, F.-M. ; Barek, J. ; Vyskočil, V.
Three tumor biomarkers (homovanillic acid, vanillylmandelic acid,\nand 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid) have been determined by flow\ninjection analysis with amperometric detection at screen-printed\ncarbon electrodes in optimum medium of Britton-Robinson buffer\n(0.04 mol l-1, pH = 2.0). Dependences of the peaks current on the\nconcentration of biomarkers were linear in the tested concentration\nregion from 0.05 to 100 mu mol l-1, with the limits of detection of\n0.065 mu mol l-1 for homovanillic acid, 0.053 mu mol l-1 for vanillylmandelic\nacid, and 0.033 mu mol l-1 for 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (calculated\nfrom heights), and 0.024 mu mol 1-1 for homovanillic acid,\n0.020 mu mol l-1 forvanillylmandelic acid, and 0.012 mu mol l-1 for 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (calculated from areas), respectively.

Pilot Experiments With a Micro-Volume Voltammetric Cell for the Determination of Electrochemically Reducible Organic Compounds
Skalová, Štěpánka ; Barek, J. ; Rodrigues, J. A. ; Goncalves, L.M. ; Navrátil, Tomáš ; Vyskočil, V.
A new micro-volume voltammetric cell for analysis of small volumes\nof electrochemically reducible organic compounds was developed\nand tested. The sample (20-100 mu L) is placed in a narrow glass tube\nwith an agar membrane at the bottom and the working electrode is\nimmersed into the sample. The agar membrane, as anion permeable\nlayer, electrically connects the workin g e lectrode immersed in the\nanalysed sample in the glass tube with a large-volume compartment\n(20 mL) filled with Britton-Robinson buffer, where conventional nonminiaturized\nreference and auxiliary electrodes are placed. The system\nwas tested using a polished silver solid amalgam electrode\n(p-AgSAE) as a working electrode. Sodium anthraquinone-2-sulfonate\nwas used as a model compound because it is intended to use this\nsystem to monitor electrochemically reducible organic compounds.
