Development of Head Space Sorptive Extraction Method for the Determination of Volatile Compounds in Beer and Comparison with Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction

Stir bar sorptive extraction of volatile compounds in vinegar: validation study and comparison with solid phase microextraction.

Stir bar sorptive extraction was evaluated for analysing volatiles in vinegar. The procedure developed shows detection and quantitation limits, and linear ranges adequate for analysing this type of compounds. The accuracy obtained was close to 100%, with repeatability values lower than 13%. The extraction efficiency is inversely affected by the acetic acid content. Although the absolute areas d...

Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction (SBSE) applied to Environmental Aqueous Samples

β-cyclodextrin-bonded silica particles as novel sorbent for stir bar sorptive extraction of phenolic compounds.

A stir bar coated with β-cyclodextrin-bonded-silica (CDS) as novel sorbent has been developed and used to analyze seven phenolic compounds in aqueous samples, followed by thermal desorption and gas chromatography-mass spectrometric detection. Significant parameters affecting sorption process such as the time and temperature of sorption and desorption, ionic strength, pH and stirring rate have b...

Stir bar-sorptive extraction, solid phase extraction and liquid-liquid extraction for levetiracetam determination in human plasma: comparing recovery rates

Levetiracetam (LEV), an antiepileptic drug (AED) with favorable pharmacokinetic profile, is increasingly being used in clinical practice, although information on its metabolism and disposition are still being generated. Therefore a simple, robust and fast liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) followed by highperformance liquid chromatography method is described that could be used for both pharmacokine...

Development and in situ application of stir bar sorptive extraction for the determination of agricultural pesticides in surface water

Passive sampling has recently been developed as an alternative to grab or average automated sampling, in order to obtain at lower cost, more realistic estimates of the average concentrations of organic contaminants in surface waters. The aim of this study was to develop and validate the in situ application of stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) as a passive sampling technique for the monitoring...
