Determination of propyl gallate on carbon paste electrode
Vysoká, Marie ; Zima, Jiří (advisor) ; Fischer, Jan (referee)
Propyl gallate (PG) is a significant synthetic antioxidant and preservative. Its determination has been studied at carbon paste electrode (CPE) using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ED) and with UV spectrometric detection (HPLC-UV). Concentration dependences were measured in the media of Britton-Robinson buffer (pH 5) and methanol (20 %, v/v) by DPV and the limit of detection 0,6110-7 moldm-3 was obtained. Using HPLC with a mobile phase consisting of 0,01 moldm-3 phosphate buffer (pH 4) and methanol (50 %, v/v) with potential of working electrode E = +0,8 V and detection wavelength λ = 280 nm, concentration dependences were measured. Limit of detection was determined to 0,39 moldm-3 for HPLC-ED and 4,95 moldm-3 for HPLC-UV. After verification of the extraction procedure PG was determined in vegetable oil. The resulting value of 3,2 mgkg-1 corresponds with permited limits.

Determination of tumor markers using carbon paste electrodes
Adámková, Hana ; Zima, Jiří (advisor) ; Fischer, Jan (referee)
In this master s thesis, electrochemical determination of homovanillic acid (HVA) andˈ vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) was performed on carbon paste electrode. The purpose of this thesis was finding out optimal conditions for determination of these analytes by ndifferential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and high pressure liquid chromatography with a carbon paste electrode as an electrochemical detector (HPLC-ED). The electrochemical behavior of the compounds depends mainly on pH of the solution; the best results are obtained in acidic medium. The limits of detection for DPV method were for HVA 0,38 μmol·dm-3 and for VMA 0,25 μmol·dm-3 . The limits of detection for HPLC-ED were for HVA 0,7 μmol·dm-3 and for VMA 0,2 μmol·dm-3 . Developed method was successfully used for the determination of homovanillic and vanillylmandelic acid in urine samples. With HPLC - ED the limits of detection 0,8 μmol·dm-3 (HVA) and 0,5 μmol·dm-3 (VMA) were achieved. Key words: Homovanillic acid, vanillylmandelic acid, carbon paste electrode, DPV, HPLC

The use of carbon-based electrodes for the development of new electrochemical methods for the determination of aminonitrophenols
Dejmková, Hana ; Zima, Jiří (advisor) ; Ludvík, Jiří (referee) ; Vytřas, Karel (referee)
4 ABSTRACT Methods for the determination of five isomers of aminonitrophenol were developed, based on the technique of differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and HPLC with amperometric detection. As the working electrodes, boron-doped diamond film electrode (BDDFE) and glassy carvon paste electrode (GCPE) were employed. Preliminary electrode testing was performed by cyclic voltammetry. The methods were aimed to the determination of all five aminonitrophenol isomers in hair dyes and to the determination of 2-amino-4- nitrophenol and 4-amino-2-nitrophenol in body fluids after solid phase extraction. From the voltammetric methods, the one using BDDFE for the cathodic determination in hair dyes exhibits sufficient selectivity. The performance of chromatographic methods was found suitable for the determination of aminonitrophenols in both observed matrices. The applicability of the developed methods was successfully confirmed by the determination of tested analyted in real samples of hair dyes and spiked samples of urine. Preceding measurements are described, dealing with the determination of other oxidizable compounds, containing phenolic or aniline moieties on BDDFE. The obtained results confirm that in some cases, BDDFE shows more resistance to fouling than other carbon-based electrodes, but in most cases, the...

Determination of aminoglutethimide using HPLC-ED on carbon pastes
Vlachová, Karolína ; Zima, Jiří (advisor) ; Šestáková, Ivana (referee)
In this thesis, the determination of AGT, sooner used as anticancer drug, especially for the treatment of breast cancer in postmenopausal women or for the treatment of prostate cancer, by high performance liquid chromatogramy with UV spectrophotometric detection (HPLC-UV) and electrochemical detection (HPLC-ED) on carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) was studied. CPEs were prepared from glassy carbon microspheres and different pasting liquids - routinely used mineral oil (CPE-MO) and less commonly used tricresylphosphate (CPE-TCP) and silicone oil (CPE-SO). The concentration dependences of AGT were measured by HPLC-UV with detection wavelength 242 nm, by HPLC-ED with a working potencial of +1,3 V for CPE-MO and + 1,1 V for CPE-TCP in mobile phase containing phosphate buffer (pH 4) and methanol 50:50 (v/v). The following limits of detection were achieved - 3,6. 10-7 mol.l-1 for UV spectrophotometric detection, 2,5. 10-7 mol.l-1 for electrochemical detection with CPE-MO and 9,7. 10-7 mol.l-1 for electrochemical detection with CPE-TCP. AGT was also determined in model samples of urine. With HPLC-UV it was not possible to detect AGT, because of the interferences of other compounds. With HPLC-ED on CPE-MO the limit of detection 5,2. 10-7 mol.l-1 AGT was achieved. KEY WORDS Aminoglutethimide HPLC with UV...

Voltammetric determination of benzophenone-3 at carbon paste electrode
Molitor, Vít ; Zima, Jiří (advisor) ; Navrátil, Tomáš (referee)
A method for analysing benzophenone-3 on carbon paste electrode was developed. As a solvent a mixture Britton-Robinson buffer and methanol was used. The pH value of 12 was determined as optimal for further measurements. It was also found out that methanol added to the analyte solution did not negatively influence the voltammetric measurement. To decrease the limit of benzophenone-3 determination the accumulation of the analyte in the electrode surface was studied. The accumulation time of 300 seconds and accumulation potential of +400 mV were used as optimal. When measured under optimal coniditions the limit of detection was 6×10-7 M in deionised water and 5,5×10-7 M in drinking water. Real sample was measured using differential pulse voltammetry and spectrophotometry.

Determination of selected terpenoids by HPLC with electrochemical detection
Mužíková, Jana ; Dejmková, Hana (advisor) ; Schwarzová, Karolina (referee)
This thesis deals with the determination of carvacrol, thymol, and eugenol by HPLC with electrochemical detection. Carbon paste electrode and boron doped diamond film electrode were used as the working electrodes. For the comparison, UV spectrophotometric detection at 275 nm was used besides the electrochemical detection. The separation was performed on LiChroCART 125-4, RP-18e (5 µm) column. Optimum separation conditions were found: mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and acetate buffer in ratio 50:50, the optimum buffer pH was pH 5. The optimum potential of working electrode during electrochemical detection was +0,8 V and +1,2 V for carbon paste electrode and boron doped diamond film electrode, respectively. For both electrodes, repeatability of the measurement was examined; the surface of both electrodes had to be renewed between the measurements. Under the obtained optimum conditions, calibration dependences were measured. The studied substances were determined in real samples, in Thymus vulgaris L. and Achillea millefolium L. and in thyme-containing tea and syrup.

Testing of new electrode arrangements for monitoring of electrochemically oxidisable biologically active organic compounds
Libánský, Milan
Submitted Ph.D. Thesis is focused on the electrochemical characterization and testing of recently developed working electrodes made from pure gold or graphitic carbon particles and electrochemical arrangements. These electrodes are suitable for large screening measurements of various organic compounds. The development of new sensitive voltammetric methods for determination of oxidisable biologically active organic compounds is another aim of this work. To verify its applicability, the array of carbon composite film electrodes integrated in measuring cell system was selected for the development of voltammetric methods for determination of homovanillic acid, vanillylmandelic acid, and indoxyl sulphate. These analytes, which belong to the group of biomarkers of human diseases, were selected for increasing interest in their determination in medical laboratories. Moreover, determination of indoxyl sulphate was coupled to its solid phase extraction from human urine prior to voltammetric determination. Obtained results were compared with measurements of standards with well-established carbon paste electrode. Sputtered (physical vapour deposition method) gold nanostructured film electrodes on treated PTFE substrates and gold nanostructured film electrodes modified with various functional groups on the...
