A selective and simple method for separation and preconcentration of zinc ions was developed by using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction. Parameters that have an effect on the microextraction efficiency such as volume of extraction and disperser solvent, extraction time, and adding salt were investigated. Under optimum conditions, a preconcentration factor of 250 was obtained. The limit o...

A new method for extraction and analysis of ethanol and methanol in human whole blood, urine and saliva samples based on headspace solid phase microextraction (SPME) using silver sulfide (Ag(2)S) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coated on silver wire is described. Unlike commercial fibers, which are coated on fused silica, the proposed fiber has a metallic base to which the coating adheres very str...

This paper describes a new approach for the determination of amitriptyline in wastewater by ionic liquid based immersed droplet microextraction (IL-IDME) prior to high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. 1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C6MIM][PF6]) was used as an ionic liquid. Various factors that affect extraction, such as volume of ionic liquid, sti...

A method for the determination of trichloroethylene (TCE) in water using portable gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was developed. A novel sample preparation method, liquid–liquid microextraction assisted solid phase microextraction (LLME–SPME), is introduced. In this method, 20 μL of hexane was added to 10 mL of TCE contaminated aqueous samples to assist headspace SPME. The extracti...

Homogeneous liquidliquid microextraction; Flotation assistance; Diazinon; Water samples ABSTRACT: In the present study a sensitive method for extraction of diazinon in water samples was developed using homogeneous liquid-liquid microextraction via flotation assistance (HLLMEFA). Toluene at microliter volume level was used as extraction solvent. The main advantages of method are high enrichment ...

The review of the RP HPLC analysis of basic psychotropic drugs is presented. It contains sample preparation methods with centrifugation, protein precipitation, liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME), solid-phase extraction (SPE), solid-phase microextraction (SPME), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and RP-HPLC analysis. Chromatographic behavior of bas...

Residual solvents (RS) are not desirable substances in the final pharmaceutical product and their acceptable limits have been published in pharmacopoeias and ICH guidelines. The intension of this paper was to review and discuss some of the current analytical procedures including gas chromatographic (GC) and other alternative techniques which are used for residual solvents determination. GC meth...
