Spectrometric analytical methods


Our group is focused on:

Generation of volatile species for needs of atomic spectrometric analytical methods with emphasis on electrochemical and UV-photochemical generation. Using of atomic absorption spectrometers as high selective detectors for chromatographic techniques, especially HPLC, for needs of speciation analysis of selected metals. Analysis of biological materials by atomic spectrometric methods (especially AAS), preconcentration techniques for trace amount of metals – combination of electrolytic in-situ deposition of an analyte with ETA-AAS for analyte separation from a sample matrix.

Study of properties of analytical used chromogenic substances and their complexes using UV/VIS Spectrophotometry. Analytical chemistry of drugs and their metabolites. Using of biologically active supramolecular systems. Photochemistry of dyes. Proposing of new, especially flow-through methods of determination of various substances and application of these methods in environmental and pharmaceutical analysis.

Development of instrumentation for capillary zone electrophoresis.

Optosensors and mass spectrometry.
