2 Headspace sampling for gas chromatographic (GC) analysis has many advantages, the most important of which is the elimination of many interferences from the sample matrix. In addition to the standard methods for headspace sampling, the technique of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has found wide acceptance because it is simple and inexpensive. More recently, single-drop microextraction (SDME...

Solvent extraction remains one of the fundamental sample preparation techniques in the analysis of environmental solid samples, but organic solvents are toxic and environmentally harmful, therefore one of the possible greening directions is its miniaturization. The present review covers the relevant research from the field of application of microextraction to the sample preparation of environme...

A new format of fast three-phase microextraction by combining low-density solvent-based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and single-drop microextraction (SDME) was for the first time developed for the determination of chlorophenols in environmental water samples. The extraction procedure includes a 2 min DLLME pre-extraction and a 10 min SDME back-extraction. A portion of low-de...

Until recently, sample preparation was carried out using traditional techniques, such as liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), that use large volumes of organic solvents. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) uses much less solvent than LLE, although the volume can still be significant. These preparation methods are expensive, time-consuming and environmentally unfriendly. Recently, a great effort has been ma...

The present research describes the use of directly suspended drop microextraction and air-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method coupled with UV-Vis spectrophotometer for the analysis of doxepin in water and biological samples. Several important parameters which influence the extraction efficiencies of these two microextraction methods, such as the kind of extracting solven...

A new, sensitive and fast dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) coupled with micro-solid phase extraction (μ-SPE) was developed for determination of zearalenone (ZEN) in wheat samples. The DLLME was performed using acetonitrile/water (80:20 v/v) as the disperser solvent and 1-octanol as the extracting solvent.  The acetonitrile/water (80:20 v/v) solvent was also used to extract ZEN f...

a simple, inexpensive and efficient method was used for extraction and determination of fexofenadine and levocetirizine with three–phase hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction and high-performance liquid chromatography. several parameters influencing the extraction recoveries such as the nature of organic extraction solvent, ph of donor and acceptor phases, stirring rate, extraction time and...

The present paper reviews various pathways that will lead to reduction of organic solvent usage in pesticide residue analysis. Considerable reduction of solvent consumption can be achieved by miniaturizing the scale of sample extraction and cleanup and by simplifying the analytical procedures. Adoption of new analytical techniques, such as solid-phase microextraction and supercritical fluid ext...

In this study, hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) coupled with highperformanceliquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection was applied for preconcentrationand determination of Diclofenac sodium in biological fluids. Parameters affecting the extractionprocess including pH of donor phase and acceptor phase, type of extraction solvent, stirring rate,extraction time, and salt add...
