Sample extraction techniques for biological samples: recent advances and novel applications

Supercritical fluid extraction: Recent advances and applications.

Among the different extraction techniques used at analytical and preparative scale, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is one of the most used. This review covers the most recent developments of SFE in different fields, such as food science, natural products, by-product recovery, pharmaceutical and environmental sciences, during the period 2007-2009. The revision is focused on the most recent...

Recent advances in analytical techniques for the determination of pregabalin in pharmaceutical and biological samples

Pregabalin (PGB), is an antiepileptic and analgesic drug, which is structural analogue of γ-amino-butyric acid. This drug has been approved by Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of central nervous system disorders including epilepsy, fibromyalgia and also for the treatment of neuropathic pain. It was designed as a potent successor to gabapentin. PGB is minimally metabolized and prim...

Recent Advances in the Extraction of Triazines from Water Samples

Recent Advances in Extraction and Stirring Integrated Techniques

The extraction yield of a microextraction technique depends on thermodynamic and kinetics factors. Both of these factors have been the focus of intensive research in the last few years. The extraction yield can be increased by synthesizing and using novel materials with favorable distribution constants (one of the thermodynamic factors) for target analytes. The extraction yield can also be incr...

Recent advances in extraction methods of medicinal plant components

Various novel techniques including ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction and supercritical fluid extraction have been developed for the extraction of medicinal plants in order to shorten the extraction time, decrease the solvent consumption, increase the extraction yield, and enhance the quality of extracts. This review was conducted to introduce and compare the conventi...
