Optimization of electrochemical sensor for detection in microvolume
Gajdoš, Libor ; Pekárek, Jan (referee) ; Prášek, Jan (advisor)
This thesis describes optimization and modification of standard thick-film electrochemical sensor to be able to be used for detection in microvolumes. In the theoretical part, the thick film technology is described. The work is then focused on the wettability of surfaces followed by introduction to electrochemistry and electro-analytical methods. In the experimental part, screen-printing of various types of thick film pastes on ceramic substrates for determination of their wettability and the following modification of the sensors with thick-film paste and with Parylene vaporization can be found, as well as the basic electrochemical measurements in microvolume using the modified sensor. Finally the results are summarized in conclusion.

Thick-film sensors for heavy metals detection
Polický, Jiří ; Adámek, Martin (referee) ; Prášek, Jan (advisor)
This work covers an area of heavy metals detection using thick-film sensors. Fabrication of screen-printed thick-film sensor and electrochemical analytical methods for detection of chemical elements in aqueous solutions are described in this work. Several commercial and own prepared thick-film pastes were used for carbon based working electrodes. The electrochemical properties of the pastes were examined by cadmium ions detection in potassium chloride solution using differential pulse voltammetry. The best results were achieved on the electrode made of direct grown carbon nanotubes on the electrode layer NM22. A detection limit 20×10-6 mol l-1.was reached with this working electrode material during oxidation process.

The system for measurement of little flow
Karásek, Eduard ; Prášek, Jan (referee) ; Adámek, Martin (advisor)
Diploma thesis solves how to create system for measurement of little liquid flows. The basic types of liquid flowmeter, which are possible used for measurement of little liquid flows, are described in the introduction part of thesis. The limit for little flow is often determined as flow 100 mg.min-1 and low. Second part of this thesis describes the ways of capillary production and practical experiments with them. Thesis is focused to thick film technology and LTCC technology. Next part of this work is solution of simple measuring unit for measurement of little flows less than 100 mg.min 1, which is controlled by microprocessor ATmega16. The measuring unit can be worked separately or can be connected to PC. The next possibility of flowmeter optimisation is summarized in end of thesis.

Electrochemical sensor array
Šulc, Jakub ; Prášek, Jan (referee) ; Adámek, Martin (advisor)
In recent years (Of late year)microelectronic technology significantly affected in the field of sensor technology, especially in the field of electrochemical sensors. This thesis deals with design and construction of thick-film voltammetric sensors array. The reason for proposal of voltammetric sensors array is to increase of speed, increase the accuracy and extension possibilities measurement compared with common systems.By reason of increase of sensitivity of these sensors it is efficient use the potentiostat chip for measurement output signal. Created sensors must fulfill the specified parameters and also requirements of thick-film technology. Next step is design the basic blocks of electronic circuit used to evaluate the measured values.

The design of electrochemical sensor with integrated potentiostat chip
Uhlár, Martin ; Novotný, Marek (referee) ; Adámek, Martin (advisor)
The research on electrochemical sensor applications in combination with application-defined electronic circuits is a very fast developing field of modern sensorics. Device designing of unique integrated systems with specific properties and parameters is now becoming the everyday practice for producers of devices based on the latest technology progress in microelectronics. In the process of realization of a new device type, the main objective consists in increasing the possibility of detecting very low concentrations of heavy metals in the given chemical solution, extending the signal-to-noise ratio, and measuring the potential of a sensor. The general aim of this Master’s thesis is to design the topology of a sensor based on the thick film technology, to materialize the sensor, and to make experimental measurement using the sensor prototype. The practical reason for basing the measurement on the application of this thick film sensor is to find out whether the operational integration of the sensor and the circuit has been achieved according to the original hypothesis. Importantly, it is also necessary to determine whether the reproducibility of measured results has been reached. The innovative aspect of the created device consists in the improvement of output characteristics given by the integration of ASIC (IMAM CHIP). The integration of ASIC on the surface of the sensor eliminates the huge parasitic influence that affects the accuracy of measurement.
