Surfactant-assisted electromembrane extraction combined with cyclodextrin-modified capillary electrophoresis for the separation and quantification of Tranylcypromine enantiomers in biological samples.

Surfactant-assisted electromembrane extraction coupled with cyclodextrin-modified capillary electrophoresis was developed for the separation and determination of Tranylcypromine enantiomers in biological samples. This combination would provide a new strategy for selective and sensitive determination of target analytes. The addition of surfactant in the donor solution improved the analyte transport into the lumen of hollow fiber that resulted in an enhancement in the analytes migration into acceptor solution.

Switchable-hydrophilicity solvent-based microextraction combined with gas chromatography for the determination of nitroaromatic compounds in water samples.

A simple, fast, sensitive, and low-cost method was developed for the quantification of nitroaromatic compounds in water samples based on CO -assisted liquid-phase microextraction using a switchable-hydrophilicity solvent followed by gas chromatography detection. Dipropylamine was used as extraction solvent with switchable hydrophilicity that can be miscible or immiscible upon the addition or removal of CO as a reagent. Experimental parameters affecting the extraction efficiency such as the volume of acceptor phase, the volume of donor phase, pH of donor phase, ionic strength, and extraction time were investigated.

Surfactant-assisted electromembrane extraction combined with capillary electrophoresis as a novel technique for the determination of acidic drugs in biological fluids.

In this paper, for the first time, surfactant-assisted electromembrane extraction coupled with capillary electrophoresis with UV detector was introduced for the extraction of acidic drugs from biological fluids. In this technique, in the presence of the nonionic surfactant in the donor phase, tendency of analyte ions into the supported liquid membrane (SLM) was increased. Naproxen and diclofenac were selected as model acidic drugs.

Application of nonionic surfactant as a new method for the enhancement of electromembrane extraction performance for determination of basic drugs in biological samples.

This paper proposes for the first time the use of a nonionic surfactant for the enhancement of electromembrane extraction performance. The presence of nonionic surfactant in donor phase promotes ionic analytes efficient migration through the organic liquid membrane. Surfactant assisted electromembrane extraction coupled with capillary electrophoresis was used for the extraction of basic drugs (methamphetamine, ephedrine and methadone) from biological samples.

Development of carbon-nanotube-assisted electromembrane extraction in the two-phase mode combined with GC for the determination of basic drugs.

In this work, carbon-nanotube-assisted electromembrane extraction in the two-phase mode combined with GC was developed for the preconcentration and determination of basic drugs in body fluids. The multiwalled carbon nanotubes dispersed in organic solvent are held in the pores of the porous fiber wall by capillary forces and sonification. The membrane with immobilized carbon nanotubes acts as a sorbent and provides an additional pathway for analyte transport.

A new method for the enhancement of electromembrane extraction efficiency using carbon nanotube reinforced hollow fiber for the determination of acidic drugs in spiked plasma, urine, breast milk and wastewater samples.

A new design of low voltage electromembrane extraction (EME) using carbon nanotube reinforced hollow fiber was developed for the determination of acidic drugs in biological and wastewater samples. The supported liquid membrane (SLM) with carbon nanotubes as the sorbent interface was used in this research. CNTs have large surface area and high adsorption capacity for a wide range of organic and inorganic species.

Development and application of carbon nanotubes assisted electromembrane extraction (CNTs/EME) for the determination of buprenorphine as a model of basic drugs from urine samples.

In this work carbon nanotubes assisted electromembrane extraction (CNTs/EME) coupled with capillary electrophoresis (CE) and ultraviolet (UV) detection was developed for the determination of buprenorphine as a model of basic drugs from urine samples. Carbon nanotubes reinforced hollow fiber was used in this research. Here the CNTs serve as a sorbent and provide an additional pathway for solute transport.
