In recent years, the interest in new extraction methods with lower sample volume requirements, simpler equipment and handling, and lower reagent consumption, has led to the development of a series of microextraction methods based on extraction phases in the microliter order. Nowadays, many references can be found for several of these methods, which imply a wide range of applications referred to both the analyte and the sample nature. In this paper, recent developments in both well-established microextraction techniques (solid phase microextraction, hollow-fiber liquid phase microextraction, dispersive liquideliquid microextraction, etc.) and recently appeared microextraction procedures (nanoextraction systems, microchip devices, etc.) for the clinical analysis of biological samples will be reviewed and discussed.

Electromembrane extraction of peptides based on hydrogen bond interactions

Samira Dowlatshah, Frederik Andre Hansen, Chen Zhou, Maria Ramos-Payan, Trine Grongaug Halvorsen, Stig Pedersen-Bjergaard

Summary: Electromembrane extraction (EME) of peptides involves the transfer of positively charged peptides from an aqueous sample through a liquid membrane into an aqueous acceptor solution under an electrical field. However, the use of ionic carriers in the liquid membrane increases the system's conductivity and leads to instability and drifting pH. In this study, a selection of organic solvents without ionic carriers was tested as pure liquid membrane for EME of peptides, and tri(pentyl) phosphate was found to be the most suitable solvent. It extracted peptides with a net charge of +1 and no more than two polar side chains, and was able to extract leu-enkephalin, met-enkephalin, and endomorphin from human blood plasma.

Green strategies using solvent-free biodegradable membranes in microfluidic devices. Liquid phase microextraction and electromembrane extraction

Alejandro Martin, Elia Santigosa, Maria Ramos-Payan

Summary: In this study, a novel solvent-free microfluidic method for liquid phase microextraction (LPME) was proposed. The efficiency of biodegradable membranes without organic solvent in microfluidic formats was investigated, and a comparison with electromembrane extraction (EME) was conducted. The results showed that the solvent-free LPME microfluidic format had similar extraction efficiencies to the solvent-free EME format, but the LPME format was preferred due to its simplicity. The proposed green microfluidic device was successfully applied to urine samples, achieving high recoveries for all analytes and low relative standard deviation. Compared with conventional membranes, the solvent-free microfluidic systems based on biodegradable solid support materials offered the same advantages in terms of membrane stability and allowed consecutive extractions.

Miniaturized ascorbic acid assay platform based on point discharge atomic emission spectrometry coupling with gold filament enrichment

Yanping Wang, Yuemei Chen, Kejun Li, Jinrong Zhou, Xin Yuan, Mei Zhang, Ke Huang

Summary: In this work, a portable analytical system based on point discharge chemical vapor generation atomic emission spectrometry (PD-CVG-AES) coupling with gold filament enrichment was designed. The highly sensitive analysis of Hg2+ indirectly realized the detection of ascorbic acid (AA). The measurement is based on the fact that Ag+ can decrease the concentration of Hg2+ by forming Ag-Hg amalgam in the presence of the reductant SnCl2, while AA can pre-reduce Ag+ to Ag0, leading to the generation of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The developed novel analytical strategy broadens the application of microplasma-based AES and offers a higher level of sensitivity compared to current AA detection techniques.
