Researchers from National Tsing Hua University (Hsinchu, Taiwan) developed a dispersive liquid?liquid microextraction (DLLME) method based on solidification of a floating organic drop and combined it with gas chromatography with either electron-capture or mass spectrometry detection.
Researchers from National Tsing Hua University (Hsinchu, Taiwan) developed a dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) method based on solidification of a floating organic drop and combined it with gas chromatography with either electron-capture or mass spectrometry detection. The method reportedly is simple, inexpensive, and precise. It also avoids the use of high-toxicity solvents usually used in DLLME. They used halogenated organic compounds in water as the model compounds for the method.
HPLC 2025 Preview: Functionalized Monoliths as Selective Sample Preparation Materials
May 16th 2025Analyzing trace compounds from complex samples often requires purification and pre-concentration, and online coupling of solid-phase extraction (SPE) with liquid chromatography (LC) helps minimize analysis time and solvent/sample use. Monoliths with large macropores are ideal for this coupling due to their low back pressure and versatility in various formats.
Thermodynamic Insights into Organic Solvent Extraction for Chemical Analysis of Medical Devices
April 16th 2025A new study, published by a researcher from Chemical Characterization Solutions in Minnesota, explored a new approach for sample preparation for the chemical characterization of medical devices.
