Implementing Green Analytical Methodologies Using Solid-Phase Microextraction: A Review

Green analytical methodologies.

Solid phase microextraction.

Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) uses a small volume of sorbent dispersed typically on the surface of small fibres, to isolate and concentrate analytes from sample matrix. After contact with sample, analytes are absorbed or adsorbed by the fibre phase (depending on the nature of the coating) until an equilibrium is reached in the system. The amount of an analyte extracted by the coating at eq...

Laser Desorption Solid Phase Microextraction

The use of laser desorption as a sample introduction method for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has been investigated in this research project. Three different types of analytical instruments, mass spectrometry (MS), ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) and gas chromatography (GC) were employed as detectors. The coupling of laser desorption SPME to these three instruments was constructed and desc...

Theory of solid-phase microextraction

The main objective of this contribution is to describe the fundamental concepts associated with solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Theory provides insight when developing SPME methods and identifies parameters for rigorous control and optimization. A mathematical model has been developed to understand the principal processes of SPME by applying basic fundamental principles of thermodynamics an...

Development of Novel Solid-Phase Microextraction Fibers

The basic principles for the preparation of SPME fibers with satisfying selectivity, sensitivity, loading capacities and stabilities are summarized here in terms of the physicochemical properties of the coating materials and the supporting substrates of SPME fibers. While the main part of this chapter focuses on the advances in developing the most widely used coating materials, including ionic ...
