Utilization of Working Silver Solid Electrode for Voltammetric Determination of Drug Metronidazole
Mráček, Ondřej ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Fischer, Jan (referee)
This Bachelor thesis discusses the electrochemical behavior of metronidazole and seeks to find optimal conditions for the drug's voltammetric determination at a working silver solid electrode (AgSE) using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The voltammetric behavior of the drug was investigated, where the dependent variable was the pH of a water medium Britton-Robinson buffer (BRB). The optimum medium for voltammetric determination of metronidazole at a AgSE is a region of cathodic potential chosen to be the Britton-Robinson buffer, where the sodium hydroxide alkaline component (Na-BRB) has a pH of 10.0, and then measured further at voltammetric cell (volume of 10 ml) at concentration dependencies in the range of (1-1000)×10−6 mol/l. The limit of quantification (LOQ) and the limit of detection (LOD) were found to be 1.8×10−6 mol/l and 5.5×10−7 mol/l, respectively. In addition, the metronidazole was studied for the effect of electrochemical regeneration at the AgSE, where the parameters were: Nr = 150, Ein_r = 0 mV, Tin_r = 0.1 s, Efin_r = −1500 mV, Tfin_r = 0.1 s. The next section studies the electrochemical activity of the AgSE, which is not entirely ideal. The newly developed method might be applicable in the future for determining metronidazole through differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) to...

Voltammetric Determination of Selected Psychopharmaceuticals Using Carbon Electrodes
Matouš, Petr ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Fischer, Jan (referee)
Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used for developing a method for the determination of phenothiazine derivatives, namely chlorpromazine (CHP) and levomepromazine (LMP), using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and a graphite electrode, both with a 2 mm disc diameter. Comparison of quantification limits (LQ) for both substances on both electrodes was performed. After optimizing and processing the results, the optimal conditions for measuring calibrations were as follows: Britton- Robinson (BR) buffer at pH 4.0. Calibration dependences were measured inthe concentration range from 1·10-7 to 1·10-4 mol·dm-3 . There was no need for electrochemical electrode regeneration or matrix pretreatment. The results showed higher measurement sensitivity for CHP, and the graphite electrode also showed higher sensitivity. Although there were measured lower concentrations with the graphite electrode in comparison to the GCE, because of the low repeatability of the measurements in the lower concentration range 1-10·10-7 mol·dm-3 , the LQ is comparable to the results reached on the GCE. Besides to the BR buffer, measurements in other matrices (drinking water and river water) were also made. The following LQ values were achieved: 1.0·10-6 mol·dm-3 (in BR buffer), 1.1·10-6 -1.4·10-6 mol·dm-3 (in drinking water) and...
