In this study, ionic liquid (IL) supported magnetic dispersive solid-phase microextraction was developed and a systematic investigation was conducted on imidazolium ILs for their extraction performance. This nano-based pretreatment procedure was then applied for the determination of acaricides in fruit juice samples for the first time. A feature of this technique is that the commonly laborious ...

A new direct method for log P determination by dispersive liquid/liquid microextraction (DLLME) coupled with derivatized magnetic nanoparticles (DMNPs) predispersed in 1-octanol phase is discussed. First, the aim of DMNPs predispersed into 1-octanol phase was to provide the magnetic force when an ultrastrong magnet was used to separate the two phases. Second, the interaction of 1-octanol with...

Levetiracetam (LEV) is an antiepileptic drug that is clinically effective in generalized and partial epilepsy syndromes. The use of this drug has been increasing in clinical practice and intra- or -interindividual variability has been exhibited for special population. For this reason, bioanalytical methods are required for drug monitoring in biological matrices. So this work presents a dispersi...

Sample preparation has been recognized as a major step in the chemical analysis workflow. As such, substantial efforts have been made in recent years to simplify the overall sample preparation process. Major focusses of these efforts have included miniaturization of the extraction device; minimizing/eliminating toxic and hazardous organic solvent consumption; eliminating sample pre-treatment an...

Direct analysis of samples, regardless their origin, is desirable although for the majority of cases unfeasible on account of the complexity of the sample matrix, inadequate concentration of the target analytes, or even incompatibility with the detector. In these cases, a sample pretreatment step is required for interference removal and analytes separation/preconcentration. Despite valuable adv...

A fast, simple and environmentally friendly ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (USA-DLLME) procedure has been developed to preconcentrate eight cyclic and linear siloxanes from wastewater samples prior to quantification by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A two-stage multivariate optimization approach has been developed employing a Plackett-Burman design f...

Aim: A new analytical platform combining ultrasound assisted-dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (US-DLLME) with thin layer chromatography (TLC)-image processing analysis has been proposed. Materials and Methods: Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) was selected as the model compound to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. The complete analysis comprises of three steps: (i) US-DLLME...

PURPOSE Piroxicam, is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent, which is widely used in the treatment of patients with rheumatologic disorders. A new analytical approach based on the dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) has been developed for the extraction and determination of PX in pharmaceutical preparation and human urine. METHODS From the PX standard solution or so...

Simple and robust analytical procedures were developed for hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and lead (Pb(II)) by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) using microsample injection system coupled with flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (MIS-FAAS). For the current study, ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC), carbon tetrachloride, and ethanol were used as chelating agent, extra...
