Adult mice were continuously exposed to metal oxide nanoparticles for different time intervals. At the end of experiment, mice organs (lung, brain, kidney, liver and spleen) were collected for chemical, biochemical, histological and electron microscopical analyses. Dospělé myši byly kontinuálně vystaveny nanočásticím oxidů kovů v různých časových intervalech. Na konci experimentu byly orgány myší (plíce, mozek, ledviny, játra a slezina) analyzovány chemickými, biochemickými, histologickými a elektron mikroskopickými analýzami.

Hollow fibre-liquid phase microextraction of basic drugs from dried dried blood spots
Dvořák, Miloš; Miková, B.; Šlampová, Andrea; Kubáň, Pavel
2018 - English
Hollow fibre-liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) was applied for rapid and efficient extraction of basic drugs from dried blood spots (DBS). Basic drugs from DBS were first extracted into 10 mM NaOH solution, which acted as the HF-LPME donor solution, and simultaneously the neutralized drugs were transferred across the HF and preconcentrated in 10 mM HCl acceptor solution inside the HF lumen. Mixture (1:1, v:v) of 1-ethyl-2-nitrobenzene and dihexyl ether was used for impregnation of the porous HF membrane. Analytes in the acceptor solution were injected directly from the HF into capillary electrophoresis instrument for further separation, detection and quantification. Repeatability of the hyphenated analytical system ranged from 9.8 to 13.8 % (RSD) and enrichment factors of 52 – 78 were obtained for model basic drugs spiked to DBS extracts at a concentration level of 0.1 mg/L.

Surface enhanced raman spectroscopy: Detection platforms for sample analysis with and without electrophoretic separation
Týčová, Anna; Přikryl, Jan; Foret, František; Belder, D.
2018 - English
In this work we present two platforms of relatively simple construction for user-friendly sample detection via surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The first platform is designed for direct sample analysis and deals with hydrophilic spots array within a hydrophobic surface. The second presented platform aims on analysis of samples of higher complexity requiring separation step prior the detection. This is achived via microfluidic electrophoretic device with online SERS detection.

Speciation analysis of As and Hg in biological material
Petry-Podgórska, Inga; Matoušek, Tomáš; Migašová, M.; Zemanová, Veronika; Pavlík, Milan; Pavlíková, D.; Kratzer, Jan
2018 - English
This work was focused on an analysis of arsenic in selected plants and mercury in hair. A combination of HPLC and ICP-MS was used for analysis of biological tissues extracts. The\nspeciation analysis of low molecular arsenic and mercury species like inorganic iAs3+ and iAs5+, methylarsenic and dimethylarsenic forms was carried out with hydride generation (HG)\ntechnique, arsenic peptides and inorganic mercury (iHg2+) and its methylated form (MHg+) - with reverse phase (RP) chromatography and detected by ICP-MS.

Oxidative potetial of atmospheric aerosol as indicator of ROS formation
Barboříková, Hana; Mikuška, Pavel; Hegrová, J.; Krajčovič, J.
2018 - Czech
Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) affects our environment especially human health because it contains many toxic chemical substances. The purpose of this study is to determine a total content and a soluble fraction of selected metals and also the contribution of metals soluble in pulmonary fluids to a total oxidative potential of PM. Částice atmosferického aerosolu (PM) ovlivňují naše životní prostředí a především lidské zdraví, jelikož obsahují toxické látky. Účelem této studie je určit celkovou koncentraci a rozpustné frakce vybraných kovů a také příspěvek kovů rozpustných v plicních tekutinách k celkovému oxidačnímu potenciálu PM.

Evaluation of the 33 synthesized nitrophenol-based markers of isoelectic point
Duša, Filip; Moravcová, Dana; Šlais, Karel
2018 - English
33 nitrophenol-based compounds, which absorb at ultraviolet as well as visible wavelengths, were selected as candidates for marking isoelectric points (pI) over the pH range from 3 to 10. The evaluation and selection of the candidate structures included structure-based calculations of acid-base properties. The selected compounds were further tested experimentally using capillary isoelectric focusing. The experimental analysis excluded two compounds due to producing double peaks during the analysis. Overall, 31 novel compounds were identified as suitable pI markers.

Rapid fabrication of microextraction devices for direct determination of basic drugs in dried blood spots
Ryšavá, Lenka; Přikryl, Jan; Dvořák, Miloš; Malá, Zdeňka; Kubáň, Pavel
2018 - English
A 3D-printed cutter was designed for rapid fabrication of supported liquid membrane (SLM) extraction devices compatible with injection system of commercial capillary electrophoresis (CE) instrument. Low cost and single use microextraction devices were fabricated from polypropylene micropipette tips with high precision (dimension variances ≤ 3% RSD). Practical applicability of the microextraction devices was examined by in-line coupling of SLM extractions to CE for direct analysis of four model basic drugs in dried blood spot extracts. Excellent repeatability of the hyphenated technique was achieved (RSD ≤ 7.6%), transfer of analytes across the SLM ranged from 23 to 73% and limits of detection were as low as 0.07 μg/mL.
