CHROMtalks - Development of Green(er) Microextraction Techniques Combined with LC: Trends, Troubleshooting, and Applications

Sample preparation is a crucial step prior to liquid chromatographic analysis, as it removes interferences, ensures sample compatibility with the analytical instrumentation, and preconcentrates the target analyte(s). Currently, there is a trend in developing greener microextraction-based sample preparation protocols to reduce the environmental impact of chemical analysis. This presentation will explore key advancements in novel microextraction techniques, along with practical troubleshooting strategies. Additionally, applications in food, biological, and environmental sample analysis will be showcased to emphasize the significance of adopting greener sample preparation approaches.
