PURPOSE Fluoxetine is the most prescribed antidepressant drug worldwide. In this work, a new dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) method combined with spectrofluorimetry has been developed for the extraction and determination of FLX in pharmaceutical formulations and human urine. METHODS For FLX determination, the pH of a 10 mL of sample solution containing FLX, was adjusted to 11...

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) recently updated its standards E 1387 and E 1618 for the analysis of fire debris. The changes in the classification of ignitable liquids are presented in this review. Furthermore, a new standard on extraction of fire debris with solid phase microextraction (SPME) was released. Advantages and drawbacks of this technique are presented and disc...

A rapid and sensitive method has been developed for the determination of benzaldehyde, a toxic oxidation product of the widely used preservative and co-solvent benzyl alcohol in injectable formulations of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, diclofenac, vitamin B-complex and Voltaren injection solutions by using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction followed by gas chromatography. This met...

A simple, rapid and sensitive method was developed for the selective separation and preconcentration of Ni(II) using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, by a yellow Schiff's base bisazanyl derivative, as a selective complexing agent. In this method, a mixture of 45 μL chloroform (extraction solvent) and 450 μL tetrahydrofuran (dispersive solvent) is rapidly injected by syringe into a 5 mL...

dispersive liquid liquid microextraction (dllme) combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (gc–ms) was used for the extraction and determination of 13 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) in mineral water samples. in this procedure, the suitable combination of extraction solvent (500 µl chloroform) and disperser solvent (1000 µl acetone) were quickly injected into the water sample (...

The availability of rapid and accurate methods to assess fruit flavor is of utmost importance to support quality control especially in the breeding phase. Breeders need more information and analytical tools to facilitate selection for complex multigenic traits such as flavor quality. In this study, it is shown that proton-transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) is a suitable method to moni...

novel dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (dllme), coupled with high performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection (hplc-dad) has been applied for the extraction and determination of cyproheptadine (cph), an antihistamine, in human urine samples. in this method, 0.6 ml of acetonitrile (disperser solvent) containing 30 µl of carbon tetrachloride (extraction solvent) was ...
