Optimization of a method for the determination of inorganic ions using capillary electrophoresis
Špačková, Simona ; Bezděková, Jaroslava (referee) ; Vaculovičová, Markéta (advisor)
Inorganic ions are one of the most important group chemicals. Their importance is crucial for all living organisms on the planet and monitoring of their content is essential for this purpose in clinical or environmental analysis but also in the food industry, agriculture or many other industries. Many analytical methods for ion detection have been designed and used, depending on the area of their use. Recently, numerous methods have been adapted to areas where not primarily intended. One such methods may be, for example, laser ablation with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, which has recently begun to affect the analysis of biological samples. As a complementary method, able to detect also non-metallic ions is capillary electrophoresis. In this master thesis, the possibility of applying capillary electrophoresis with indirect photometric detection for the separation of inorganic ions in cell lysates of HeLa cells by capillary electrophoresis was verified. Main attention was paid to chloride ions. The ability to separate inorganic compounds in cellular material using salicylic acid as an absorbing anion in the base electrolyte was tested.

Studium kapsaicinu jako markeru pálivosti paprik
Do, Tomáš
Capsaicin is the main component of chilli peppers responsible for pungency. In this bachelor thesis, the presence and concentration of natural capsaicinoids (capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin) extracted from 12 different varieties of chilli peppers (Jalapeño, Bhut Jolokia Yellow, Habanero Orange, Carolina Reaper, etc.) were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Each variety was prepared without seeds and partitions and with seeds and partitions in order to compare yields of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin depending on sample preparation. Finally, for individual varieties of chilli pepper, the range of pungency were evaluated in SHU units based on capsaicin concentration.
