Mobilization of electroosmotic flow markers in capillary electrophoresis
Martínková, Eva ; Křížek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Sobotníková, Jana (referee)
Capillary zone electrophoresis is a separation method used to separate charged substances in electric field. Substances migrate to detector due to their own electrophoretic mobility and electoosmotic flow in capillary. Separation is possible because of electroforetic mobility of substances, which is directly proportional to the charge and undirectly proportional to the hydrated radius of ion. This means that neutral molecules form just one neutral zone, which is detected together. Well absorbing neutral substances are thus used as markers of average (mean) EOF. It was found, that some of the markers have dispositions to be mobilized with respect to the EOF. This mobilization is caused by interactions of free electron pair on atoms of nitrogen or oxygen of marker with components of background buffer. The aim of the study was to measure mobilization of some commonly used markers with different cations of acetate buffer and thus find "ideal" marker, whose mobility is almost the same as EOF and find combinations of marker+buffer, which are better to be avoided. Eleven markers in combination with six cations of background electrolyte were studied. We have found, that relative mobilities of some of chosen markers come up to five percent of limit mobilities of small inorganic cations. An appropriate...

Separation of liquid crystal forming substances using non-aqueous capillary electrokinetic chromatography
Čokrtová, Kateřina ; Křížek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kubíčková, Anna (referee)
Liquid crystals are widely used in electronics, medicine and other fields. Analytical separations are important in the development of new liquid crystals to control the purity of synthesized substances. The sample analysis is important for detection of impurities formed during synthesis and for determination of chiral purity of the substance. Liquid crystal-forming substances cannot be separated by capillary zone electrophoresis due to the absence of readily ionizable groups. Electrokinetic chromatography is a method in which a suitable surfactant is added to the background electrolyte. The uncharged substances then interact with the electrically charged surfactant to obtain an effective charge. Separation can occur if they interact differently with the added surfactant. Another problem complicating the analysis is the very low solubility of analytes in water. Separations in this work were therefore carried out under non-aqueous conditions in acetonitrile. However, under these conditions a poor repeatability of the migration times of the substances was observed. Therefore, capillaries with differently coated inner walls were used in subsequent measurements. Surface modification should improve the repeatability of migration times. Several types of capillary coating have been tested. Dynamic coating...

Effect of background electrolyte anions on markers of electroosmotic flow in capillary electrophoresis
Čokrtová, Kateřina ; Křížek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kubíčková, Anna (referee)
Mobility of the electroosmotic flow is an important quantity in capillary electrophoresis because its value is needed to determine the effective electrophoretic mobility of analytes. The effective electrophoretic mobility is used for electrophoretic determination of physico-chemical constants, such as dissociation constants or stability constants, but it is also important in analytical chemistry because identification of analytes is based on the value of the effective mobility. The most common way to measure electroosmotic flow is to add a neutral substance to the sample. However, the neutral substance can gain electrophoretic mobility due to interactions with the components of the background electrolyte. This may cause an inaccurate determination of the velocity of the electroosmotic flow. The aim of this work was to measure the mobility of several common and less frequently used markers in the background electrolyte containing different anions and to find suitable marker - anion combinations in order to avoid major measurement errors. Relative mobility of eight markers in the pure background electrolyte and in the background electrolyte containing a salt of the studied anion - sodium chloride, sodium perchlorate or sodium sulphate - was measured and related mobility of thiourea. Acetate buffer...
