A non-chromatographic separation and preconcentration method for Se species determination based on the use of an on-line ionic liquid (IL) dispersive microextraction system coupled to electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) is proposed. Retention and separation of the IL phase was achieved with a Florisil(®)-packed microcolumn after dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) with tetradecyl(trihexyl)phosphonium chloride IL (CYPHOS(®) IL 101). Selenite [Se(IV)] species was selectively separated by forming Se-ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (Se-APDC) complex followed by extraction with CYPHOS(®) IL 101. The methodology was highly selective towards Se(IV), while selenate [Se(VI)] was reduced and then indirectly determined. Several factors influencing the efficiency of the preconcentration technique, such as APDC concentration, sample volume, extractant phase volume, type of eluent, elution flow rate, etc., have been investigated in detail. The limit of detection (LOD) was 15 ng L(-1) and the relative standard deviation (RSD) for 10 replicates at 0.5 μg L(-1) Se concentration was 5.1%, calculated with peak heights. The calibration graph was linear and a correlation coefficient of 0.9993 was achieved. The method was successfully employed for Se speciation studies in garlic extracts and water samples.

Background: Aluminium is a mono-isotope element and can be determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The measurement of aluminium by ICP-MS suffers potential spectral interferences from multiple elements, which make it challenging to ensure the reliability of the results. Fortunately, the availability of tandem quadrupole ICP-MS (i.

Article Synopsis
- Sample preparation is still a major challenge in analytical processes, despite improvements in instruments, with solid-phase extraction becoming favored over traditional methods due to its simplicity and reduced solvent needs.
- Various microextraction techniques, particularly in-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME), have been developed for more efficient sample handling and automation, offering a "green extraction technique" option that minimizes solvent use.
- Innovative materials like molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are enhancing extraction efficiency; MIPs are custom-designed adsorbents that are created through a specific fabrication process to recognize and selectively bind target molecules.

Article Synopsis
- Understanding how nanoparticles behave in biological environments is essential for creating safer materials, as factors like toxic metal ion release can lead to harmful effects.
- The study used two Field-Flow Fractionation techniques to analyze the solubility of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles, discovering that at high concentrations, the stability of nanoparticles is fairly consistent regardless of the separation method, while at lower concentrations, different methods yield varying results.
- Additionally, the research examined how exposure to fresh water affects the toxicity of both fresh and aged ZnO nanoparticles, finding that the toxic effects are influenced by time, dose, and the age of the nanoparticles, with aged samples generally being less toxic.

This work explores strategies for electrokinetic preconcentration of extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are potential source of biomarkers for different diseases. The first approach that led to successful preconcentration of EVs is based on large volume sample stacking (LVSS), allowing an enrichment factor of 7 for CE of EVs with long-end injection (using a capillary with an effective length of 50 cm). Attempts were also made to perform multiple cycles of LVSS, field amplified sample stacking (FASS) and field amplified sample injection (FASI), to improve EVs preconcentration performance.
