The Flow Injection Analysis of Procaine and Sulfamethoxazole with Spectrophotometric Detection
Baptistová, Adéla ; Nesměrák, Karel (advisor) ; Červený, Václav (referee)
A derivatization reaction, based on a copulation reaction of diazonium salt of an analyte with a reagent (1-aminonaphthalene or NEDA) producing colour, spectrophotometrically detectable product, has been used for determination of two analytes (procain hydrochloride, sulfamethoxazole) containing amino group in the molecule. The conditions of batch spectrophotometric determination were studied. It was found, that the batch determination is applicable only for procain hydrochloride analysis, because sulfamethoxazole gives time-unstable colour product. FIA arrangement was proposed and effects of selected parameters were optimized using two levels factorial design. The calibration dependences were measured for both analysis with both reagents, and subsequently were applied on determination of analytes in medical forms. Key words: diazotization, flow injection analysis, procaine, spectrophotometry, sulfamethoxazole

Determination of Procaine by Flow Injection and Sequential Injection Analysis with Spectrophotometric Determination
Tomanová, Marie ; Hraníček, Jakub (advisor) ; Rychlovský, Petr (referee)
This diploma thesis is focused to the determination of procaine using flow injection and sequential injection analysis coupled with spectrophotometric detection. This determination is based on the reaction of procaine with a colouring agent, 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonic acid. An orange coloured product is formed, which is determined spectrophotometrically at the wavelength 484 nm. The high of the absorption signal of the product is directly proportional to the concentration of procaine. The aim of this work was to optimize the parameters of both methods of flow analysis so that the limit concentration of procaine can be as low as possible and at the same time, high sensibility is achieved. The next step was to apply these methods on the determination of procaine in real samples. It was found that in flow injection analysis, the absorbance of procaine hydrochloride obeys Beer's law for concentrations from 2.5 to 120 µg/ml. The linear regression equation of calibration graph was y = 0.0059x - 0.0051, with a linear regression correlation coefficient 0.9993. Limit of detection was 0.72 µg/ml. Effects of standing time (stopped-flow), flow rate, concentration of colouring agent, pH and the volume of the sample loop have been examined and optimized. It was also found that in sequential injection...

Electrochemical generation of tellurium and bismuth hydrides for AAS
Resslerová, Tina ; Hraníček, Jakub (advisor) ; Šíma, Jan (referee)
Tellurium and bismuth are non-biogenous elements, which can be accumulated in human body. The aim of this work is focused on the determination of these elements by the electrochemical hydride generation with non-membrane electrolytic cell with quartz tube - atomic absorption spectrometry. The first step of the work was to optimize parameters for the continuous setup measurements and to obtain its figures of merit. After this, the arrangement with most suitable conditions for determination of these elements was converted to the flow injection setup (FIA) and all experimental parameters were again optimized and its figures of merit were obtained. The conditions of hydride generation were studied for platinum, lead and silver cathodes with hydrochloric and sulphuric acids and their sodium salts as electrolytes. The optimizations of the FIA setup were performed on platinum cathode in hydrochloric acid for bismuth and on lead cathode in sulphuric acid for tellurium. The limit of detection achieved for the generation of tellurium hydride was 1.1 ppm with a linear range up to 20 ppm; for the bismuth hydride the limit of detection was 9.5 ppm and limit of linearity 50 ppm. Keywords Bismuth, tellurium, electrochemical hydride generation, atomic absorption spectroscopy, flow injection analysis

Interference study by arsenic determination using UV-photochemical generation of its volatile species with AAS detection
Smolejová, Jana ; Červený, Václav (advisor) ; Nesměrák, Karel (referee)
This thesis deals with the interference study of the UV-photochemical generation of arsenic volatile species with AAS detection and it searches for a suitable reaction modifier, which would improve sensitivity of the As determination. Interferences were classified into 3 groups according to their influence on the As UV-photochemical volatile species generation. Ni2+ , Cu2+ , Cl− and merkaptoethanol belong among the negative interferents. HNO3, Fe3+ , ethanol, SO4 2− , TiO2 and L-cysteine belong among the low-level interferents. Co2+ , acetonitrile, triethanolamine, selenite and Bi3+ belong to a group, which increases the absorbance of arsenic and could, therefore, be called positive interferents. Concentration of 10 mg l−1 of Bi3+ significantly increases the level of absorbance of arsenic. This effect was utilized during measurement of calibration dependence and Bi3+ ions were used as the reaction modifier. The figures of merit of this method with reaction modifier were obtained. Limit of detection was 18 µg l−1 , limit of quantification was 60 µg l−1 , sensitivity was 1.144·10−3 l µg−1 , repeatability was 4.5 % (relative standard deviation) a linear range was 60 - 500 µg l−1 . We achieved eleven times better absorbance by using this reaction modifier compared to UV-photochemical volatile species...

Determination of Arsenic Using UV-photochemical Generation of the Volatile Species in Formic Acid Medium with AAS Detection
Vlčková, Anna ; Červený, Václav (advisor) ; Hraníček, Jakub (referee)
V této bakalářské práci byla nejprve sestavena aparatura pro stanovení arsenu pomocí UV-fotochemického generování jeho těkavé sloučeniny s AAS detekcí a byly optimalizovány experimentální podmínky navrhované metody. Klíčovými parametry byly: délka reakční cívky ozařované UV světlem; místo zavádění reakčního plynu (vodíku) před UV-fotoreaktor a nosného plynu (argonu) před UV-fotoreaktor a do separátoru fází a jejich průtoky; koncentrace kyseliny mravenčí v nosném roztoku a jeho průtoková rychlost a velikost dávkovaného objemu vzorku. Za optimálních podmínek navrhované metody byla naměřena kalibrační závislost. Pro porovnání výsledků bylo použito stanovení arsenu pomocí chemického generování jeho hydridu. Z porovnání těchto metod vychází chemické generování jednoznačně jako metoda citlivější, protože lze stanovovat koncentrace již od 5,7 ppb As, zatímco metodou UV-fotochemického generování lze stanovovat koncentrace až od 150 ppb As. Za stávajících podmínek je UV-fotochemické generování těkavých sloučenin z důvodu velmi nízké citlivosti (přibližně 16,5 % oproti chemickému generování) pro stanovení arsenu nevhodné.

The aim of this thesis was the determination of lead in water samples using complexating reaction with 4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol in medium of 2-amino-2- hydroxymethyl-propan-1,3-diol hydrochloride buffer (Tris·HCl). Firstly, for the determination was chosen UV/VIS molecular spectrometry in a static arrangement. Subsequently, the method was performed in flow injection arrangement. The calibration was performed under optimal experimental conditions. The limits of detection for static and flow injection arrangements were 0.097 mol dm-3 and 0.27 mol dm-3 , respectively. Secondly, the determination of lead by differential pulse voltammetry was performed. The electrochemical properties of lead complex were investigated. During these experiments it was found out that small amount of this complex was adsorbed on the surface of silver solid amalgam electrode. The calibration was performed, the limit of detection was 0.020 mol dm-3 . Keywords Lead, 4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol, flow injection analysis, UV/VIS molecular spectrometry, differential pulse voltammetry, silver solid amalgam electrode.

Electrochemical determination of 6-thioguanine at boron doped diamond film electrod
Humpolíková, Jiřina ; Fischer, Jan (advisor) ; Schwarzová, Karolina (referee)
This master's thesis is focused on the determination of 6-thioguanine (6-T) by DC voltammetry (DCV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and flow injection analysis with electrochemical detection (FIA-ED) on a boron doped diamond electrode (BDDFE). The optimum conditions for determination of 6-T were found and under these conditions, concentration dependences were measured and the limits of quantification (LOQ) were calculated for each method. Medium of 60% methanol and phosphate buffer (PB) pH 2,0 was chosen as optimum for DCV and DPV determination of 6-T at BDDFE. For both DCV and DPV, the linear concentration dependences were obtained in concentration ranges of 6-T from 2 µmol·l-1 to 10 µmol·l-1 with LOQ 0,9 µmol·l-1 for DCV and 1,5 µmol·l-1 for DPV. Lower LOQ was achieved in PB pH 2,0, where LOQ was 0,6 µmol·l-1 for both DCV and DPV, but the problem was lower repeatability. In PB pH 2 6-T was determined by DCV in drinking and river water with LOQ 1,3 µmol·l-1 in both drinking and river water. The possibility of solid phase extraction was investigated as a method for preliminary separation of 6-T from urine. For FIA under optimized conditions (polarization potential 1300 mV, flow rate 5 ml·min1 and sample volume 50 µl) the linear concentrations dependences were obtained in concentration ranges...

Voltammetric and amperometric determination of 5-nitroquinoline in drinking and river water using carbon film electrode
Rumlová, Tereza ; Barek, Jiří (advisor) ; Dejmková, Hana (referee)
This work focuses on optimization and application of voltammetric methods for determination of 5-nitroquinoline in model samples of drinking and river water using carbon film electrode (CFE). The advantages of carbon film electrode are primarily its wide potential window in both cathodic and anodic regions and also low environmental stress compared to mercury electrodes. In this contribution, CV and AdSV were used to observe electrochemical processes. For determination of 5-nitroquinoline DPV and FIA were used. Solid phase extraction was investigated as a method for preliminary separation and preconcentration for DPV. Determination of 5-nitroquinoline at CFE is based on cathodic reduction of nitrogroup. This work demonstrates the application of carbon film electrode for determination of 5-nitroquinoline in submicromolar concentrations in model samples of water.
