An efficient, rapid, simple, and highly selective dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction based on solidification of floating organic drop (DLLME-SFOD), combined with flame atomic absorption spectrometry was developed for preconcentration and determination of trace amounts of cobalt in water samples. In this method, an appropriate mixture of acetone and 1-undecanol was injected rapidly into th...

In the present research, salting out and vortex assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction based on solidification of floating organic drop microextraction (SO-VADLLME-SFODME)  for the extraction and determination of phenol and chlorophenols in water samples followed by HPLC have been studied through a novel, simple, low-cost, selectable and environment friendly (so called green) method....

Heat Transfer has special importance in engineering applications. So, researchers have suggested different new idea to increase heat transfer and using nanofluid is one of these methods In recent years, new methods have been used. One of these methods is the use of nanofluids, ., because nanofluids have higher heat transfer potential than base conventional fluids. In this investigation effect o...

The challenges that must be overcome in order to detect nitric oxide (NO) in biological fluids include its low physiological concentration (1-nM) and its short half-life (a few seconds or less). Electrochemistry is capable of making such measurements, if certain principles, both biological and electrochemical, are kept in mind. We discuss these principles and demonstrate an example of practical...

A new, rapid and sensitive microextraction technique named vortex-assisted liquid-liquid-liquid microextraction (VALLLME) is proposed. The complete extraction process involves two steps. First, a vortex-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction (VALLME) procedure was used to extract the analytes from a relatively large volume of sample (donor phase) to a small volume of organic solvent (intermedia...

In order to combat a variety of pests, pesticides are widely used in fruits. Several extraction procedures (liquid extraction, single drop microextraction, microwave-assisted extraction, pressurized liquid extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, solid-phase extraction, solid-phase microextraction, matrix solid-phase dispersion, and stir bar sorptive extraction) have been reported to determi...

In the present study, an ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction based on solidification floating organic drop method is described for preconcentration of trace amounts of Mn (II). 2-(5-Bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5 diethylaminophenol was added to a solution of Mn(+2) at ph = 10.0. After this, 1-undecanol was added to the solution as an extraction solvent, and solution was stirred. Several f...

A reversed-phase dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (RP-DLLME) method coupled to HPLC was developed for the extraction of hydroxytyrosol (HTy) and tyrosol (Ty) from virgin olive oil. In this first application of the RP-DLLME method to non-polar samples, the phenolic compounds were directly extracted into an aqueous micro-drop, which could be injected into a chromatography column without a...

We present a simple microfluidic device that uses an array of well-defined chambers to immobilize thousands of femtoliter- to picoliter-scale aqueous drops suspended in inert carrier oil. This device enables timelapse studies of large numbers of individual drops, while simultaneously enabling subsequent drop recovery.
