Lab-made Sensors Based on Boron-doped Diamond for Determination of Herbicide Linuron
Štěpánková, M. ; Šelešovská, R. ; Janíková, L. ; Vojs, M. ; Marton, M. ; Behúl, M. ; Nováková, Kateřina ; Chýlková, J.
Voltammetric behaviour of substituted urea herbicide linuron (LIN) was investigated using two types of boron-doped diamond electrodes (BDDE): commercial BDDE and lab-made sensors based on boron-doped diamond (LM-BDDE). Various methods like cyclic voltammetry (CV), direct current voltammetry (DCV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were examined. It was found that LIN provides one oxidation peak using all of the tested working electrodes and the highest current response was recorded in the acidic media. Thus, Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffer of pH 2 was used as a supporting electrolyte. Parameters of DPV were optimized and the low limits of detection (LOD) were reached 1.41×10−7 M for commercial boron-doped diamond electrode and 8.81×10−9 M, respectively, which represents the lowest LOD obtained for lab-made boron-doped diamond electrodes.

Use of the Silver Solid Amalgam Electrode for Determination of 5-Nitroindazole
Nováková, Kateřina ; Navrátil, Tomáš ; Hrdlička, V. ; Vyskočil, V. ; Barek, J. ; Chýlková, J.
The voltammetric behavior of 5- nitroindazole (5-NI) has been investigated using mercury meniscus modified (m-AgSAE) silver solid amalgam electrode (inner diameter 0.5 mm). Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were used for study of electrochemical behavior of 5-NI. Britton-Robinson buffer was found to be the best available supporting electrolyte for 5-NI determination. The reaction mechanism was investigated by CV and by elimination voltammetry with linear scan (EVLS). DPV with optimized working parameters was applied for analysis of model solutions containing 5-NI. The limit of detection was calculated as 0.14 mol L for m-AgSAE. Proposed method was successfully tested for analysis of real water samples spiked by 5-NI.

Voltammetric Behavior of Folates and Related Substances Using Silver Solid Amalgam Electrode
Bandžuchová, L. ; Šelešovská, R. ; Navrátil, Tomáš ; Chýlková, J.
The possibility of application of silver solid amalgam electrode in voltammetric analysis of compounds with folate structure (folic acid, methotrexate, leucovorin) and substances, which play an important role in its metabolism (riboflavin, hydroxocobalamin) has been investigated. Cyclic voltammetry, DC voltammetry and Elimination voltammetry with linear scan has been used for study of voltammetric behavior of mentioned substances and for elucidation of electrochemical reactions. Differential pulse voltammetry has been applied for development of sensitive methods of determination for investigated electroactive compounds. The proposed methods were successfully applied for real samples analysis. Obtained results have been compared with those achieved using HMDE.

Assessment of Potential Risk Connected with the Use of Mercury and Mercury Electrodes
Navrátil, Tomáš ; Švancara, I. ; Mrázová, K. ; Nováková, Kateřina ; Chýlková, J. ; Pelclová, D.
This contribution tries to asses critically the danger connected with utilization of mercury in different branches of human activites. The main attention was devoted to electrochemistry, mainly to voltammetry and polarography. However, to other branches were characterized as well: dentistry, in battery production, mining industry, and a few others. The most toxic and contarily almost nontoxic forms of mercury and of its compounds were characterized. Some interesting cases of exposure to mercury, according to the database of the Czech Toxicological Information Centre (TIC) (from years 1995-2011), have been reported,

Use of Copper Solid Amalgam Electrode for Determination of Triazolic Fungicide Tebuvonazole
Nováková, Kateřina ; Navrátil, Tomáš ; Jaklová Dytrtová, Jana ; Chýlková, J.
With the use newly developed mercury meniscus-modified copper solid amalgam electrode (inner diamter 1.5 mm), the voltammetric behavior of fungicide tebuconazole was researched by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Applying CV and elimination voltammetry with linear scan (EVLS), the reaction mechanism was investigated. The optimum conditions for DPV determination of this triazolic fungucude were identified in Britton-Robinson buffer/methanol (1:1, v/v) of pH 6.3 DPV with optimized parameters (Ein = +400 mV vs. Ag/AgCl/3M KCl, scan rate 20 mV s-1) was used for determination of determination of tebuconazole in analyzed solutions. Application the prolonged time (60 s), the limit of detection 2.10-7 molL-1. The applicability of the developed method was verified on the analysis of the real soil solution sample.
