In this study, the analysis of contaminants found in environmental waters and originating from personal care products is addressed using metalorganic frameworks (MOFs) in combination with liquid chromatography (LC). This work expands the use of MOFs from gas chromatography to LC and also meets the requirements of green analytical chemistry.

Nanomaterials are extremely useful as sorbents for sample preparation, because of their varied morphologies, high surface area, surface-tovolume ratio, porosity, and ability to interact with samples in a variety of ways. Here, we review how nanomaterials are being used in a variety of sample preparation techniques, such as dispersive solid-phase extraction (dSPE), solid-phase microextraction, stir-bar sorptive extraction, and matrix solid-phase dispersion.

A simple, fully-automated method is proposed to analyze extractables and leachables-compounds that are released from packing materials into drugs during storage-using SPME-GC×GC–MS. This method avoids the use of sample preparation solvents and reduces sample handling, and is ideal for routine use in quality control.

Crude (4-methylcyclohexyl)methanol (MCHM) is a chemical contaminant that must be monitored in fresh water environments, because of significant health risks to surrounding human populations. A new method for MCHM analysis was developed using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and thin film microextraction (TFME) combined with GC–MS. Both methods achieved limits of quantitation lower than standard methods using SPE.
