Aplikace solvatačního modelu k popisu retence vybraných látek v kapalinové a plynové chromatografii / Application of solvation mocel to retention description of selected compounds in liquid and gas chromatographyJirkal, Štěpán January 2016 (has links)
(EN) The solvation model based on LSER was applied to study the retention behaviour of analytes in liquid and gas chromatography. In a first chapter, a retention description of 21 solutes was investigated by using the solvation model in a wide range of mobile phase composition methanol-water and acetonitrile-water. Generally, the retention of aromatic compounds was better described by the solvation model, compared to aliphatic compounds. Effect of the particular analytes used to formulate the LSER model on ability of retention description was studied. Different results of a retention estimation was achieved by using the regression set of compounds including aromatic solutes only or by contrast aliphatic solutes only. The solvation model developed on the basis of oxygen derivatives provided distinct results in comparison to model formulated with nitrogen derivatives only. The second chapter of this work, focused on gas chromatography, dealt with a description of retention of 152 isomers C5-C8 alkenes by the LSER model. The solvation descriptor L was obtained by using two estimation methods Havelec-Ševčík (HS) and Platts-Butina (PB), the descriptor E was calculated according to its definition. Two models for retention description of alkenes were constructed, the HS model and the PB model, derived...

Enantioselektivní separace vybraných analytů v systémech superkritické fluidní chromatografie a vysokoúčinné kapalinové chromatografie / Enantioselective separation of certain analytes using supercritical fluid chromatography and high performance liquid chromatographyMartínková, Monika January 2017 (has links)
(EN) Cellulose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) chiral stationary phase was used for separation of selected 24 analytes. Enantioseparations were realized using two systems, high performance liquid chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography. Effect of mobile phase composition was studied. Five different aditives (isopropylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, trifluoroacetic acid, isopropylamine combined with trifluoroacetic acid) and their influence on enantioseparation were tested. Influence of two different modifiers (methanol, propan-2-ol) combined with all aditives was also tested in supercritical fluid chromatography system. The aim of this work was to find optimized composition of mobile phase which was suitable for separation of the analytes studied and to compare separation potential among all mobile phases and also between used separations systems. The supercritical fluid chromatography was shown to yield better results, i.e. better resolution in shorter analysis time. However examples of analytes better resolved under optimized conditions in high performance liquid chromatography system have also been found. Keywords (EN) Chirality, enantiomers, enantioselective separation, chiral stationary phase, high performance liquid chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography.

Chromatografická charakterizace polyanilinem potažených stacionárních fází / Chromatographic characterization of polyaniline-coated stationary phasesTaraba, Lukáš January 2018 (has links)
(EN) This dissertation thesis is focused on physicochemical and chromatographic characterization of polyaniline-coated stationary phases. In the first part, surfaces of bare silica and octadecyl silica sorbents were modified by in-situ chemical polymerization of aniline hydrochloride and their subsequent systematic characterization was performed by using the linear solvation energy relationship approach in the HILIC mode of capillary LC. In addition, several common physicochemical techniques were used to characterize properties of these altered materials. The modified sorbents were then packed into capillary columns. The retention interactions taking place between solute and the separation system were evaluated on the basis of retention data of a number of various solutes. The results showed that polyaniline coating had a significant effect on the retention promoting interactions of both polyaniline-coated stationary phases. The assumed mixed-mode retention mechanism was proven for both the stationary phases. The second part dealt with investigation of the separation potential of polyaniline- coated silica stationary phase in different chromatographic modes. The retention factor curves of structurally similar solutes were constructed as a function of organic modifier portion in the mobile phase....

Stanovení kreatininu pomocí pulsní amperometrie / Determination of creatinine using pulsed amperometryGiampaglia, Dominika January 2021 (has links)
This diploma thesis deals with the determination of creatinine using a combination of flow injection analysis (FIA) or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with pulse amperometry, an electrochemical technique based on the application of potential pulses on a gold working electrode. The determination was performed in a basic environment of borate buffer with creatinine concentration of 1∙10-4 mol∙l-1 . The lenght of the cleaning and activation pulse was optimized as well as the pH of the running buffer. A cleaning pulse of +1.8 V was first applied to the electrode for 100 ms, then an activation potential of -0.5 V was applied for 150 ms and then a measuring potential of +0.2 V for 300 ms. The optimal pH was selected as pH=9,4. Methanol and acetonitrile were added to the borate buffer to test whether creatinine could be determined in presence of these organic solvents and whether flow injection analysis could be transformed into HPLC. Methanol in the system caused peak deformation, acetonitrile did not cause the peak deformation in the system, at higher contents the baseline was destabilized. Furthermore, the calibration dependence in the range of concentrations from 2.5∙10-4 mol∙l-1 to 5∙10-6 mol ∙ l-1 was measured using PAD in combination with FIA. At higher concentrations, peaks splitted....

Variabilita farmakokinetiky a možnost jejího sledování. / Variability of pharmacokinetics and possibilities for its monitoring.Světlík, Svatopluk January 2020 (has links)
Backgroun and aims: Pharmacokinetic variability is of paramount importance for sucessfull pharmacotherapy. The main purpose of this work was to study variability of pharmacokinetics in clinical and non-clinical setting with the aim to predict variability in target population. Specifically, three drugs were chosen, sufentanil, with relativelly narrow therapeutic index, and nabumeton and abirateron, both with known high variability. Methods: The study of pharmacokinetic variability of sufentanil was based on clinical samples taken from patients undergoing surgical cardiac procedure, where the sufentanil was used as a part of the drug coctail used during the procedure. New analytical method was necessary to prepare and validate to measure sufentanil concentrations and obtain pharmacokinetic parameters. These were compared between determined genotype groups of MDR1 and OPRM1. Similarly, clinical study was executed with nabumetone, in which nabumetone was administered in a group of 24 subjects on two separate occassions. Plazma samples were obtained and concentrations of nabumetone and its active metabolite, 6-methoxynaphtylacetic acid (6-MNA), were determined. Obtained pharmacokinetic profiles were compared between female and male volunteers, and genotypes for MDR1 and CYP2D6. Finaly for abiraterone,...

Optimalizace podmínek a postupů při získávání bylinných extraktů. / Optimization of conditions and procedures for plant extraction.SMUTNÍKOVÁ, Kateřina January 2012 (has links)
The thesis deals with the content of selected phenolic compounds in some species of the genus Amaranthus, in black elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) and buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum M.). Phenolic compounds are a group of natural compounds exclusively vegetable character. Flavonoids represent only one group of phenolic compounds. Flavonoids show many positive biological effects, in particular act as antioxidants. Natural flavonoids may cause to prevent from coronary- heard diseases and other diseases associated with older age. In recent years the increased attention is paid to flavonoid investigation due to its biological effects. For the determination of phenolic substances there were used two independent analytical methods. There are the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC). The MECC method was used for determination rutin and free quercetin. The highest content of rutin was found in leaves of buckwheat (76,400 mg/kg of dry weight) and the lowest content of rutin was determined in buckwheat hulls. The highest content of rutin was observed in teas from buckwheat leaves and inflorescence. This amount of rutin corresponds with rutin content in more than two pills of Ascorutin (the most favourite flavonoid medicament in the Czech Republic) The HPLC method was used for quantitative determination of phenolic acids. The content of free quercetin was monitored in all samples. No free quercetin was found both in plant material and in samples of teas. The ethanolic extract from the elderberry inflorescence didn´t contain any free quercetin. Free quercetin wasn?t found in any further samples of teas, which were prepared by described methods.

ELECTROCHEMICAL DETECTOR WITH ELECTRODES ARRAY AND ROTATING DISK / ELECTROCHEMICAL DETECTOR WITH ELECTRODES ARRAY AND ROTATING DISKSAJDLOVÁ, Zuzana January 2010 (has links)
The thesis deals with the testing and optimization of hydrodynamic conditions of the electrochemical detector, which consists of a flow cell containing the electrochemical sensor with an array of electrodes. The flow cell includes a rotating disc-shaped component, which allows radial flow of analytes along the sensor electrodes. This principle imitates the rotating disk electrode, with the difference that here the electrodes are immobile. Hydrodynamic phenomena in this case are similar to RDE. Therefore, the theoretical part of my work deals with hydrodynamics and mass transfer for the well-described case of rotating disk electrode. It was found that in the current set-up under certain conditions, an analyte flowed back from the output cell channel to the sensor, even at the laminar flow. This causes a nonlinear response of the electrodes and their low reproducibility. The solution is to reduce the distance between the rotation component and the electrodes surface and reduce flow speed of analyzed liquid towards the sensor. A novel type of sensor with annular electrodes was designed and tested. It showed four times higher conversion rate of the analyte compared with the originally used AC9 electrochemical sensor having electrodes in the form of full circles lying on a circumference of a common circle. Based on calculations, conversion of the analyte on the plane electrode can be increased up to 100% when using this annular sensor, adjusting flow cell and reducing of the input flow rate. The detector was connected to the liquid chromatograph and its function was tested on two substances - ascorbic acid and dopamine. For the current detector these parameters were set: dynamic range, linearity, noise, detection limit, time constant and the temperature range at which the detector can be operated.

Využití polarimetrie a refraktometrie ke stanovení koncentrace invertního cukru v invertních sirupech / Use of polarimetry and refractometry for determination of invert sugar concentration in invert syrupsMrůzková, Karolína January 2021 (has links)
Invert syrup is a liquid sweetener, which is produced by sucrose hydrolysis to form fructose and glucose. Important qualitative parameter of invert syrup is the sucrose inversion – weight percentage of invert sugar (sum of fructose and glucose) in invert syrup dry mass. This diploma thesis presents a possibility of sucrose inversion determination by polarimetry in combination with refractometry in invert syrups of 70–78 % dry mass produced at 80 °C and pH 2,4. New relationship describing the sucrose inversion as a function of polarization and refractometric dry mass was determined. The results of sucrose inversion determined using this new relationship were compared to results obtained by HPLC/RI, which was used as a reference method. The difference between these 2 determination methods was 0,1 ± 0,5 %. The new relationship was detemined with reference to the fact, that under the processing conditions, more glucose than fructose is formed. The fructose : glucose concentration ratio formed under processing conditions was observed to be equal 0,96 ± 0,02.

Izolace čistých aminokyselin z pšeničných otrub / Isolation of pure aminoacids from wheat branSloupová, Klára January 2021 (has links)
Wheat bran is a promising material containing a wide range of useful components, including proteins. In addition, it is produced in significant volumes. Currently, wheat bran is used for the production of energy by combustion and for feed purposes. Gradually, new methods of valorization of this material are being sought. One of the possibilities of using wheat bran is the isolation of proteins, hydrolysis, and separation of selected amino acids. This diploma thesis deals with this issue, it is focused on the recovery of arginine and leucine from a protein isolate. Proteins were extracted from wheat bran by changing the pH. Thanks to the subsequent lyophilization a protein isolate was gained. Prior to hydrolysis of the resulting isolate, a stability test of arginine and leucine amino acid standards was first performed, to which various hydrolysis methods were applied. Acid hydrolysis using a mineralizer, which was applied to the protein isolate, was proved to be the most effective. This was followed by the derivatization of the hydrolysates with OPA and analysis of the resulting hydrolysates by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV-VIS detection. Then, suitable adsorption and desorption conditions were optimized. It was found that the time dependence does not affect the amount of adsorbed material on the sorbent. Therefore, an application time of 15 minutes was chosen. While optimizing the amount of used standard, it was found that the optimal weight was 0.25 g of sorbent. The selected conditions were applied to the protein hydrolyzate. Two fractions were obtained by the separation of selected amino acids due to the change in the pH of the citrate buffer. After the application of this procedure, 0.26 g of arginine and 0.82 g of leucine were obtained from one kilogram after evaporation. From evaporation two, 1.01 g of arginine and 0.25 g of leucine were obtained after evaporation.

Možnosti eliminace sulfonamidů z vodního ekosystému / Possibilities of elimination of sulfonamides from the aquatic ecosystemSuková, Petra January 2018 (has links)
This diploma thesis focuses on the determination of sulfonamide antibiotics especially the possibility of elimination of these substances from the aquatic ecosystem. Nowadays, environmental contamination of the pharmaceuticals and their residues is a serious concern. Main sources of this contamination are wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), where these compounds are not effectively removed by contemporary conventional technology. For this reason, new methods are being developed and tested that could eliminate the number of contaminants entering the environment in this way. There is a possibility to use the potential of the enzymatic system of wood-decay fungi, especially white rot fungi. Six representatives of sulfonamide antibiotics were selected and isolated from the aquatic matrix via solid phase extraction. The final identification and quantification method was high performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection. Monitoring of the concentration level of selected sulfonamide antibiotics at the inflow and effluent at the Brno-Modřice WWTP was carried out weekly. Moreover, the effectiveness of elimination of selected antibiotics from the aquatic ecosystem by the use of Trametes versicolor wood-decay fungi cultured on a suitable carrier was verified.
