Technology of wearable sensors
Javor, Adrián ; Majzlíková, Petra (referee) ; Hubálek, Jaromír (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with thick-film and thin-film technology of creating wearable sensors on human body, that sense substances in perspiration. Part is devoted to their classification and making subsequent proposal of flexible three-electrode biosensors using 4 different electrochemical transducers. All of these biosensors sense concentration of lactate in human sweat, and are based on immobilization lactate oxidase enzyme on the working electrode. Technological process of production is based on combination of thick-film and thin-film technology. Conclusion of this bachelor thesis contains amperometric evaluations of the lactate concentration, from which calibration curves were created.

Application of metal and semiconductor nanostructures for biodetection
Kejík, Lukáš ; Skládal, Petr (referee) ; Kolíbal, Miroslav (advisor)
The master’s thesis deals with two applications of gold discoidal nanostructures exhibiting plasmon resonance for biodetection. The first approach considers the detection of changes in the phase on plasmonic antennas using coherence-controlled holography microscope. It was found that the steepness of the phase is increasing with the illumination wavelength when plasmon resonance is excited in larger antennas. The sensitivity of the phase to refractive-index changes of the surrounding media was observed when the largest response was given by antennas in resonance with wavelength of illumination. Next part deals with plasmon resonance detection by means of optical spectroscopy combined with voltametry which characterizes the electrochemical activity. Changes in resonance wavelength induced by the presence of SSC buffer were observed, although this influence seems to diminish in time. Conducted experiments have also shown that oxygen-plasma cleaning is not suitable for sample surface cleaning because of oxidation of metals including gold as well.

Electrochemical biosensor for the study of DNA methylation
Petrula, Jakub ; Hrdý, Radim (referee) ; Hynek, David (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with design and optimalisation of custom biosensor for detection of methylated DNA. Teoretical part explains the mechanism and importance of DNA methylation. Next section describes analytical methods used in connection with DNA methylation and some basic direct and indirect methods of detection. Final part is dedicated to experiment itself, which is divided into several sections. Section one deals witch modification of working electrode and optimalisation of detection method. Second section introduces two different ways of DNA methylation detection. First is based on direct detection and second one on detection through the biosensor. Final part shows determination of methylcytosine from sample based on analysing characteristic attributes of signal and numeric algorithm based on curve fitting.

Fabianová, Kateřina ; Édes, Zoltán (referee) ; Sadílek, Jakub (advisor)
Theme of this bachelor thesis is focused on preparation of the metal nanomenhir structures situated in highly oriented matrix of silicon nitride nanopores based plasmonic biosensor. Porous structures were prepared by reactive ion etching of silicon nitride film using electron beam lithography prepared temporary mask as a template. Deposition of metals was handled by evaporation and magnetron sputtering and results was compared. Finally, this work assumes reached results including successful approach of sensor preparation without contamination of surrounding surface by heavy metal ions.

Detection of DNA/RNA fragments using graphene sensor and influence of upper electrolytic gate
Herzánová, Kristína ; Konečný, Martin (referee) ; Bartošík, Miroslav (advisor)
Jedinečné vlastnosti grafenu, jako je biokompatibilita, vysoká mobilita nosičů náboje a povrchová citlivost, z něj činí vhodný materiál pro biosenzory. Cílem této práce je popsat a představit takové senzory a měření provedená za účelem detekce fragmentů DNA, konkrétně látek na bázi cytosinu. Grafen je v polem řízených tranzistorech zapojen jako vodivý snímající kanál. Dopování grafenu vyvolané adsorpcí molekul na vodivém kanálu způsobuje změny transportních vlastností grafenu. Tyto změny se odrážejí v měření elektronických odezev: měření odporu grafenové vrstvy reagujícího v reálném čase na přidávání různých roztoků a závislost odporu na průběžné změně hradlového napětí. Druhou metodu měření lze provádět FET senzorem zapojeným v konfiguraci se spodním nebo elektrolytickým horním hradlem. Je sledován rozdíl mezi oběma konfiguracemi a také vliv vzdálenosti mezi grafenem a horní hradlovou elektrodou na odezvu senzoru. Výsledkem těchto měření jsou transferové křivky vykazující typické píky označující bod neutrality (Diracův bod) grafenu. Různé koncentrace roztoku analytu vedou k různým hodnotám napětí Diracova bodu, což slouží ke kvantifikaci úrovně dopování grafenu.

Organic tranistors for sensorics
Marková, Aneta ; Omasta, Lukáš (referee) ; Vala, Martin (advisor)
The aim was to find the best available commercial formulation of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and methods and subsequent treatment of thin films for organic electrochemical transistors (OECT). These films will be used in bioelectronic sensors to measure the physiological function of cardiomyocytes. Studied material was PEDOT:PSS in six different formulations. Thin layers prepared by spin coating were modified in three ways, namely (i) immersion in ethylene glycol, (ii) drying and (iii) a combination of drying and ethylene glycol. The layers were then tested for the influence of ethylene glycol, thermal stability, the impact of storage, influence of aqueous medium, and additional thermal annealing. According to the results obtained, the most suitable treatment of most materials was immersion in ethylene glycol followed by thermal annealing of the layer. It was found that the most appropriate material formulation was Sigma Aldrich 739 316 treated by the combination of drying, immersion in ethylene glycol and thermal annealing.
