This study established the simultaneous determination of the selected endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) and pesticides in rock, soil, water, moss, and feces samples collected from the Antarctic region. The spray-assisted droplet formation-based liquid phase microextraction (SADF-LPME) coupled to GC-MS system was developed and validated for the screening and monitoring of 29 selected EDCs and pesticides. Binary solvent system, 1:1 (v/v) dichlormethane: 1,2-dichloroethane mixture was employed as an extraction solvent and sprayed onto sample or standard solutions using a straightforward and practical spray apparatus.

This study presents a highly sensitive and accurate analytical strategy for the determination of fenuron in wastewater samples using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Simultaneous derivatization and spray-based fine droplet formation-liquid phase microextraction (SFDF-LPME) method was developed and performed to achieve low detection limits. The parameters of the derivatization and SFDF-LPME method were optimized by univariate approach to improve sensitivity and selectivity.

In order to eliminate the effects of seawater matrix on the precise/accurate determination of elements, new and efficient analytical procedure requires. In this study, co-precipitation method based on the triethylamine (TEA)-assisted Mg(OH) was performed to eliminate side-effects of seawater medium on the determination with flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) prior to the preconcentration of nickel by an optimized dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) method. Under the optimum conditions of the presented method, the limit of detection and quantification (LOD, LOQ) values obtained for nickel were found as 16.

This study reports a cheap, efficient, sensitive, and simple double monitoring analytical method for trace determination of Cr(VI), which is toxic and harmful even at very low concentrations. A metal sieve-linked double syringe (MSLDS) system was used to help the formation of chromium complex (Cr-diphenyl carbazide, DPC) subsequently determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) and digital image-based colorimetry (DIC) systems. The metal complex was eluted through a Phenomenex-Aqua C18 with a mobile phase comprising of 50 mM ammonium formate solution (pH 4.

In this study, an analytical method with high accuracy and precision was developed for the determination of methamphetamine in human urine and serum samples by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A simultaneous derivatization and spray assisted droplet formation-liquid phase microextraction (SADF-LPME) method was proposed to derivatize and preconcentrate target analyte. Quadruple isotope dilution (ID) was used to provide high accuracy and precision for methamphetamine determination in the samples.

This work reports the development of a simple, sensitive and low-cost analytical method for the trace determination of copper. A metal sieve-linked double syringe liquid phase microextraction method was used to preconcentrate copper into measurable quantities for FAAS system. The pressurized mixing offered by the automated syringe system and the sieve connector enhanced surface area for analyte and extraction solvent interaction, this significantly increased the extraction efficiency for copper.
