Critical evaluation of microextraction pretreatment techniques-Part 2: Membrane-supported and homogenous phase based techniques

Abstract

This review follows up on Part 1, which focused on classification and evaluation of single drop and sorbent-based microextraction techniques. Membrane- and homogenous phase-based microextraction techniques are discussed and classified in Part 2. These techniques are more recent than those in Part 1 and considerable attention has been paid to their development. The new methodologies are more sensitive and, thanks to their miniaturization, they can be classified as "green", but no exhaustive classification is available. We hope that this review will contribute to better orientation in these methods.

Keywords: hollow fibers; homogenous phase; membranes; microextraction.
