Voltammetric Determination of DNA Damage Caused by Genotoxic 2-Aminofluorene at a Carbon Film Electrode
Faťarová, Mária ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Zima, Jiří (referee)
A large-surface carbon film electrode (ls-CFE) represents a suitable alternative to the commercially available disposable screen-printed carbon working electrodes. Its simple, fast and inexpensive preparation, simple mechanical renewal of the electrode surface (by wiping off the old film with filter paper and forming a new one), good repro- ducibility of measurements, elimination of problems connected with "electrode history" and simple chemical modification are its main advantages. In this Bachelor Thesis, the utilization of ls-CFE for the preparation of a simple elec- trochemical DNA biosensor for the detection of carcinogenic environmental pollutant, 2-aminofluorene (2-AF), is presented. The composition of carbon ink suspension was optimized and tested using a Fe(II)/Fe(III) redox system by cyclic voltammetry (CV). A large-surface solid electrode, covered by a carbon film of the optimum composition, was then used as a transducer for the preparation of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) based electrochemical DNA biosensor (dsDNA/ls-CFE). The electrochemical behavior of dsDNA (i) present in the measured supporting electrolyte (0.1 mol.L−1 acetate buffer of pH 4.7) or (ii) attached at the ls-CFE surface (by covering with dsDNA stock solution and leaving to dry) was investigated using square wave voltammetry...

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.

Voltammetric Determination of 4-Nitrophenol at a Large-Surface Carbon Film Electrode
Šmejkalová, Hana ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Dejmková, Hana (referee)
The aim of presented Bachelor Thesis was to study an electrochemical behavior of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) resulting in the founding of optimum conditions for its determination at newly prepared large-surface carbon film electrode (ls-CFE) using DC voltametry (DCV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Voltammetic behavior of 4-NP was investigated in dependence on the pH of the medium (realized using Britton-Robinson buffer). As optimum pH values for voltammetric determination of 4-NP at ls-CFE in cathodic potentials region, the pH values 6.0 (for DCV) and 7.0 (for DPV) were chosen. The determinations of 4-NP at ls-CFE (at a concentration of the analyte of 1·10-4 mol/l) showed a good repeatability for both voltammetric techniques used (2.2 % for DCV and 0.4 % for DPV). Therefore, the possibility of an electrochemical regeneration of the electrode surface has not been further investigated. Under optimum conditions, the calibration dependences of 4-NP were measured in the concentration range from 2·10-6 to 1·10-4 mol/l, with limits of quantification (LQ) of 2.3·10-6 mol/l (for DCV at ls-CFE) and 1.8·10-6 mol/l (for DPV at ls-CFE). The applicability of the newly developed methods of the determination of 4-NP was verified on the model samples of drinking water, with LQ of 1.0·10-6 mol/l (for DCV at...
