A synthesis of 2-methyl-6-vinylpyrazine was carried out by way of a 'one pot' reaction. In order to establish the efficiency of this synthesis the extraction of the volatiles released by male papaya fruit flies was performed by SPME (solid phase micro-extraction). The compound was separated and identified using GC/MSD (gas chromatography/mass spectrometry detector).

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...

The review describes the development of batch solid phase extraction procedures based on dispersive (micro)solid with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and magnetic MIPs (MMIPs). Advantages disadvantages various for are discussed. In addition, an effort has also been made to condense information regarding MMIPs since there a great variety supports (magnetite magnetite composites carbon nano...

This article reviews the recent developments in Bio-Analytical sample preparation techniques and gives an update on basic principles, Applications and comparative discussion on the advantages and limitations of each technique. Conventional Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE), Molecularly Imprinted Polymer SPE techniques are have been considered as methods of past. Developments in SPE techniques such a...

the occurrence and fate of trace-level contamination of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment has been recognized as one of the emerging issues in environmental chemistry. the effluents of wastewater treatment plants, usually directly emitted to the environment, often contain the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac. diclofenac was chosen because it is of high consumption; by background liter...

A simple, highly sensitive, accurate and selective method for determination of trace amounts of Ni2+ in water samples. In this paper, Dioctylphthalate (DOP) was used to encapsulate nano-Fe3O4 and produce a nano-Fe3O4-DOP sorbent based new sorbent was prepared. This was treated with ethylenediamine (ED) in another solvent-free procedure for the formation of a novel nano-Fe3O4-DOP-ED. Flame atomi...
