A rapid, sensitive, environmental friendly dual preconcentration method by combining micro matrix solid-phase dispersion extraction with field-enhanced sample injection and micelle to cyclodextrin stacking has been developed for the determination of furocoumarins. Molecular sieve, KIT-6, was used as an adsorbent in micro matrix solid-phase dispersion process. The important parameters affecting off-line and online CE preconcentration efficiency were optimized.

A simple, efficient, and sensitive strategy by coupling matrix solid-phase dispersion with ultra high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was proposed to extract and determine three types of components (including seven analytes) in Chinese patent medicines Chenxiangqu. The highly ordered mesoporous material Fe-SBA-15 synthesized under weakly acidic conditions was selected as a dispersant in matrix solid phase dispersion extraction for the first time. Several parameters including the mass ratio of sample to dispersant, the type of dispersant, the grinding time, and the elution condition were investigated in this work.

The stacking mechanism, affecting factors as well as analytical performances of the proposed method were investigated. Compared with typical injection, the sensitivity enhancement factors of this method were up to 140- and 152-fold for jujuboside A and B, respectively.

The approach was performed by the long injection of sample in a low-conductivity sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate solution followed by the injection of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin solution in higher conductivity. The stacking mechanism of this method has been expounded and parameters affecting stacking effect have been optimized in our study.
