This diploma thesis deals withthe studyof electrochemical behaviorand detection of two structurally different neurotransmitters, dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT), in solutions commonly used for neuron cultivation, namely Neurobasal (NB), NB with phenol red and in phosphate buffer (PB) of a pH close to the physiological value. An electrode based on boron-doped diamondwas used for the study, examiningtwo types of surfaces obtained after oxidation (O-BDD) and mechanical polishing (p-BDD). The results were obtained by two voltametric techniques,namely cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry.The studyrevealedthat DA oxidationis a quasi-reversible process,whereas 5-HT oxidizes irreversibly on O-BDD and p-BDD. Nevertheless, for both neurotransmitters their anodic oxidationonboth BDD surfaces is controlledby diffusion. Due to the passivation of the electrode surface by the oxidation products, anodic reactivation(Eact = +2400 mV, t = 30 s) was first testedto regenerate the O-BDD surface during DA and 5-HT measurements. There was no continuous decrease in DA peak currents on O-BDD and the measuredsignals were characterizedby high repeatabilityin all studiedmedia (sr (Ip) 1.1% in PB of pH 7.0, 1.7% in NB of pH 7.34, 0.9% in NB with phenol red of pH 7.48). In the case of 5-HT, the anodic reactivation was...
