Combination of online hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction with smartphone-based sensing for in situ formaldehyde assay in fabric and wastewater samples.

A miniaturized analytical methodology was introduced based on the combination of a direct and online hollow fiber microextraction method with smartphone color detection. The method was used for the determination of formaldehyde (target analyte) in fabric and wastewater samples. In this regard, two reagents including ammonium acetate buffer and acetylacetone were added to the formaldehyde samples to create a colored compound.

Single-drop microextraction combined with gas chromatography-electron capture detection for the determination of acrylamide in food samples.

A single-drop microextraction method followed by gas chromatography-electron capture detection was developed to determine acrylamide in food samples. Acrylamide was extracted by water and derivatized by hydrobromic acid in the presence of ammonium peroxydisulfate. The derivatization was carried out at 45 °C in 15 min using 46 µL of hydrobromic acid and 98 mg of ammonium peroxydisulfate.
