In this study, a dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction method using an extraction solvent lighter than water has been developed for the extraction and preconcentration of cholecalciferol and calcifediol from plasma samples followed by high performance liquid chromatography determination. Initially, acetonitrile and sodium chloride (NaCl) are added into the plasma as an extraction solvent and...

Abstract In this study, microfunnel-supported liquid-phase microextraction method (MF-LPME) was optimized and applied for the determination of some chlorophenoxyacetic acids (CPAAs) from natural water samples. The extraction was performed with 540 μL toluene which was retained at the surface of the sample solution using an upside down microfunnel. After the extraction, toluene was moved in...

in this research, a rapid, reliable and selective dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (dllme) followed by direct injection of microdroplet to graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (gf-aas) method for the determination of ultra-trace amounts of ag(i) was developed. effect of the important experimental parameters on the extraction efficiency of ag(i) was investigated using response...

In Bangladesh, micro credit programs have positive socioeconomic impact on the rural women borrowers. However, it is perceived that the micro credit programs help the rural women borrowers to survive only and do not help them to develop entrepreneurial capabilities. Hence, this paper aims at identifying the factors related to the development of entrepreneurship among the rural women borrowers t...

INTRODUCTION Microextraction processes with UV-Vis measurement have been developed and validated for analysis of bosentan in biological samples. METHODS In this work, liquid-liquid microextraction procedures (DLLME & USAEME) were employed for cleanup, pre-concentration, and determination of bosentan in biological samples by UV-Vis spectroscopy at 270 nm. The method was validated and applied t...

Grazing-exit x-ray fluorescence (GE-XRF) and micro x-ray fluorescence (micro-XRF) methods were applied to chemical microchips as a detection method. Since an energy-dispersive x-ray detector was used, the simultaneous detection of multiple elements was possible. An analyzing region was especially designed on the microchip so that a sample solution could be dried and concentrated in a suitable a...

In the proposed method, carbon tetrachloride and ethanol were used as extraction and dispersive solvents. Several factors that may be affected on the extraction process, such as extraction solvent, disperser solvent, the volume of extraction and disperser solvent, pH of the aqueous solution and extraction time were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, linearity was maintained between 1.0 ng...

A new method of dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) combined with UV-Vis spectrophotometry was proposed for the determination of trace nickel using 2,2'-Furildioxime as chelating and spectrophotometric reagent. In the proposed approach chloroform and ethanol were used as extraction and dispersive solvents, respectively. Some factors influencing the extraction efficiency of nickel a...

In this work, a rapid method based on air-assisted liquid liquid microextraction (AALLME) was developed for the determination of three fungicides (azoxystrobin, diethofencarb and pyrimethanil) in water and juice samples. A narrow-neck glass tube was made to facilitate collection of the low-density extractant. The mixture of extractant and sample solution is rapidly sucked into a 5-mL glass syri...

A novel method is reported, whereby screen-printed electrodes (SPELs) are combined with dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction. In-situ ionic liquid (IL) formation was used as an extractant phase in the microextraction technique and proved to be a simple, fast and inexpensive analytical method. This approach uses miniaturized systems both in sample preparation and in the detection stage, help...
