Multidimensional Liquid Phase Separations
Šesták, Jozef ; Čáslavský, Josef (referee) ; Pulkrabová, Jana (referee) ; Česla, Petr (referee) ; Kahle, Vladislav (advisor)
This dissertation is dedicated to the topic of multidimensional liquid phase separations. This separation techniques are developed for analysis of complex samples containing thermally labile, low volatile or high molecular weight components that can´t be analysed by two-dimensional (2D) gas chromatography. Concepts of peak capacity and orthogonality are explained and various methods of their determination are stated in theoretical part of dissertation. High performance column liquid chromatography (HPLC) and high performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) are suggested as the most suitable methods for automated multidimensional liquid phase separations on-line coupled to mass spectrometry. Configuration of simplified miniaturized liquid chromatograph is described in experimental part of this thesis. Original concept of the system has been extended by simple mobile phase gradient generation technique. Correct function was demonstrated on repeatable separation of alkylphenones, peptides, nitroaromatics, and nitroesters. This system has been utilized as a base for a couple of simple two-dimensional separation platforms for HILIC-MALDI-MS analysis of glycans, for separation of peptides based on off-line coupling of isoelectric focusing and capillary liquid chromatography, and finally for on-line IEC×RPLC, RPLC×RPLC, and HILIC×RPLC two-dimensional liquid chromatography. Correct operation of submitted platforms has been proved.

Analysis of cow milk caseins by capillary electrophoresis
Dvořáková, Irena ; Zemanová, Jana (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
The diploma thesis is dealing with the determination of caseins in lyophilised samples of milk using the method of capillary electrophoresis (CE). This method was optimised and verified by Ivana Micikova in her diploma thesis in 2009. The theoretical part of the diploma thesis gives information about the chemical compound of cow's milk. Caseins and their usage in the food and non-food industries are described in a separate unit. Impact of both the nutritional and non-nutritional factors on the composition of the milk is discussed further. The description and the principles of the CE and a list of the methods of CE used in the last several years are stated at the end of this part. The experimental part is focused on the preparation of the solutions, process of casein isolation and its analysis. It summarises the setting of the experiment, sampling and sample processing and the composition of the feeding mixtures. The diploma thesis has arisen on the basis of the cooperation of the Institute of Food Science and Biotechnology, the Faculty of Chemistry, Brno University of Technology and the Research Institute for Cattle Breeding, Ltd., Department of Animal Nutrition Physiology in Pohorelice.

Evaluation of applicability of indirect photometric detection for chiral separations of selected carboxylic acids in dairy products
Dvořák, Miloš ; Zemanová, Jana (referee) ; Vespalcová, Milena (advisor)
In this diploma work is check possibility application indirect photometric detection for enantiomers separation lactic acids and beta-hydroxybutyric acid with capillary electrophoresis. As chiral selector is used vankomycin. Verifyed his ability partial separation lactic acid on antipode with using picric acid as vizualition anion in background electrolyte. Used was coated capillary. Application indirect photometric detection succeed. Chiral separation beta-hydroxybutyric acid wasn't successful. Hip roll by selection fit vizualization anions for purposes indirect photometric detection. Are measured their electrophoretic and spectrophotometric characteristics, for inquest compatibility use in capillary electrophoresis in relation to indirect photometric detection. From timed datums were to be you - nap optimal vizualizatin anions for others experimentation. According to ascertained and measured feature reflect be optimal eosine soluble in alcohol and bromophenol blue.

Application of capillary electrophoresis for determination of surfactants
Langová, Lenka ; Čáslavský, Josef (referee) ; Vávrová, Milada (advisor)
Tensides rank among the surfactants with ability to reduce surface tension. This ability is used to remove impurities. Surfactants can be divided into four basic groups: anionic, cationic, nonionic and zwitterionic. Anionic surfactants belong to the most widespread surfactants in the Czech Republic today. They get into sewage waters from various cleansing and washing agents which are used both in households and industry. So this diploma thesis deals with their assessment by application of capillary electrophoresis.

Evaluation of glutathione content in plants as a marker of heavy metals environmental contamination
Borková, Marie ; Stoupalová, Michaela (referee) ; Opatřilová,, Radka (advisor)
Dependence of glutathione concentration on the amount of thallium in the plant was studied. Observed plant was maize (Zea mays) which was divided to two parts – root and overground. Two culture procedures were elaborated where seeds and young seedlings were cultivated in a solution of thallium of concentration 0, 1, 3, 5, 8, a 10 µmol/l. Extraction agents used during extraction were phosphate buffer and solution of ascorbic acid. Determination of glutathione was realized by capillary electrophoresis (CE) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Diode array detector (DAD) was used in both methods. Quantification of the thallium amount in the plant was done by method of inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES).

The content changes of selected phenolic compounds during processing of medicinal plants
GROŠAFTOVÁ, Blanka
This work was aimed to the problem of change of the content of selected phenolic substances during treatment and storage of medical plants. Flavonoids represent small, but very important group of phenolic compounds. The biggest attention was paid to quercetin and rutine.Content of phenolic substances was determined by method of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) in case of 6 medicinal plants usually used in traditional and modern medicine.
