Published: December 2011

Background: A simple, low-cost and reproducible automated procedure has been developed to prepare in-tip solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fibers coated with polymer monoliths using a photopolymerization technique. Up to 96 fibers were prepared at one time using a polymerization mixture consisting of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, dimethoxy-α-phenylacetophenone and 1-decanol.

Results: The optimization procedures that affected polymer morphology, such as compositions of the crosslinkers and porogens, polymerization time and fiber thickness as well as extraction efficiency of the immobilized Oasis hydrophilic-lipophilic-balanced extraction sorbent were investigated. Also, the reproducibility of automated in-tip SPME fiber preparation, as well as sample process parameters, such as sample extraction and desorption volumes, are discussed.

Conclusion: The performance of the polymer monoliths in-tip SPME assessed with a model drug compound from clinical studies and a head-to-head comparison using in-tip SPME and conventional SPE clearly demonstrated that the SPME is a feasible approach for routine drug analysis in the pharmaceutical industry.

On-site extraction plays a significant role in the reliable quantification of strong polar phenoxycarboxylic acid herbicides (PCAs) in aqueous samples. In current study, a new technique for the field sample preparation of PCAs was developed by means of three channels in-tip microextraction device (TCIM). To capture PCAs effectively, an extraction phase based on monolith (EPM) using vinylimidazole and divinylbenzene/ethylene dimethacrylate as monomer and cross-linkers, respectively, was in-situ synthesized in pipette tips.

The determination of blood concentration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is highly desired in clinical practice. In this work, three amino bearing metal-organic frameworks (amino-MOFs) coated cotton fibers were prepared using a facile cysteine-triggered in situ growth strategy and proposed as in-tip solid-phase microextraction (in-SPME) adsorbents for efficient extraction of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs from human plasma. The self-made adsorbents exhibited satisfactory extraction performance toward three NSAIDs including diclofenac sodium, ketoprofen and flurbiprofen.

Field sample preparation is important and interesting for analysis of nitrogen and sulfur containing aromatic compounds (N,S-CACs) in environmental aqueous samples. In this connection, a new functional groups-rich adsorbent based on porous monolith (ABM) was fabricated by in-situ copolymerization of allylaminocarbonylphenyl boronic acid/styrene and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. The prepared ABM was employed as the extraction medium of homemade portable multichannel in-tip microextraction device (PMMD) for on-site entrapment of N,S-CACs in various waters.
