A new hybrid of silica aerogel with a Preyssler-type polyoxometalate and MIL-101(Cr) metal-organic framework was prepared and used as a highly porous fiber coating for headspace solid-phase microextraction of Ferulago angulata volatile components. Applying a permanent magnetic field to the sorbent increased the extraction efficiency for most of the plant's components, up to 5.53 times.

The innovated cooling assisted HS-MEPS system was optimized for the extraction and HPLC determination of volatile polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in solid samples. Amino ethyl-functionalized SBA-15 was used as a nanoporous sorbent for packing the conical hub of the MEPS syringe.

In this first application of the RP-DLLME method to non-polar samples, the phenolic compounds were directly extracted into an aqueous micro-drop, which could be injected into a chromatography column without any further pretreatment. A glass test tube with lengthened conical bottom was fitted inside a centrifuge tube in this work for more efficient withdrawal of the sedimented phase with a microsyringe.
