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...

To achieve analytical success, it is necessary to develop thorough clean-up procedures to extract analytes from the matrix. Dispersive solid phase extraction (DSPE) has been used as a pretreatment technique for the analysis of several compounds. This technique is based on the dispersion of a solid sorbent in liquid samples in the extraction isolation and clean-up of different analytes from comp...

An efficient analytical method for the preconcentration and determination of phosphate in water samples at trace levels was proposed. The method was based on sample enrichment using dispersive solid-phase extraction (dSPE) with tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA)-functionalized nano-size composite materials (TEPA-NCMs) as sorbents, which were fully characterized. Various parameters affecting the ex...

extraction of trace amounts of toxic heavy metals from complicated environmental matrixes is a  challenging task. the aim of this investigation is the comparison of the extraction efficiencies and other related experimental variables ( chemicals, effect of ph, potential interfering ions) on the determination of inorganic lead ( ) which is present in waste water of dye industries. compared techn...

the application of sulfur nanoparticles as an efficient adsorbent for the solid-phase extraction and determination of the trace amounts of pb and pd ions was investigated in environmental samples using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. effects of various parameters such as ph, flow rate of sample and eluent, type and concentration of eluent, sample volume, amount of adsorbent and interferin...

background and objectives: colocynthin is the major active secondary metabolite of colocynth, citrullus colocynthis (l.) schrad, which has been used in traditional and ethno medicine of many countries.  it could be considered as an active marker for quality control of colocynth and its herbal products. analysis and standardization of colocynth and its herbal preparations are a critical issue fo...

A rapid method was developed for the determination of 22 pesticides in rice wine. The procedure involved an extraction with acetonitrile and a cleanup step using dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE), and primary-secondary amine (PSA) and octadecylsilane (ODS) were used as sorbents. D-SPE had some advantages over some traditional preparations, especially in time and cost. Both the extractio...

A novel in-syringe dispersive solid phase extraction (dSPE) system using electrospun silica fibers as adsorbents has been developed in the current work. A few milligrams of electrospun silica fibers were incubated in sample solution in the barrel of a syringe for microextraction assisted by vortex. Due to the benefit of dispersion and the high mass transfer rate of the sub-microscale electrospu...
