This bachelor's thesis deals with combination of pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) with flow injection analysis (FIA) in order to use them to detect glucose and consequently carbohydrates in solution. Pulsed amperometry is efficient detection method for many of organic compounds in which, as the name suggests, a sequence of three or four potential pulses is applied at the working electrode. If the pulse parameters are suitable, then it is possible to eliminate the unwanted passivation of the working electrode due to the adsorption of oxidation products and intermediate products of aliphatic compounds, which would lead to a reducion of its active surface. The aim od this work is to show the effect of the change of the value of the applied potential pulses on the peak heights corresponding to the oxidation of the glucose in solution and to evaluate their repeatability. As a working electrode, it compares a gold electrode of conventional size and a gold microelectrode. The determination was performed in a borate buffer with pH = 10. First of all, cyclic voltammograms of solution with concentration of glucose 1·10-2 mol dm-3 were measured to obtain the initial values of the applied pulses. Subsequently, the dependence of the peak heights on their injection order for different values of individual...
