A new analytical method for sensitive determination of cysteine based on its interaction with phenazine methosulfate was developed using salting-out liquid-liquid microextraction followed by spectrophotometric detection. The mechanism of the reaction was studied and confirmed by Fourier transform infrared and mass spectroscopy. Experimental parameters affecting the extraction efficiency were investigated and under the optimal conditions, good linearity was observed in the range 0.2 - 6.0 µg mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9972. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were found to be 0.07 and 0.21 µg mL , respectively. The enrichment factor was 25. The developed methodology was applied for analysis of cysteine in food supplements. The obtained data were in good agreement with LC-MS/MS analysis.

Background: Sample preparation can be a critical stage of analytical procedures that profoundly influences their performance, environmental impact, and overall efficiency. While nanomaterials have revolutionized sample preparation owing to their high surface area-to-volume ratios, tunable surface chemistry, and enhanced adsorption capacities, limitations persist. Researchers have ushered in a new era of efficient sample preparation methodologies that could overcome the limitations of nanomaterials by introducing deep eutectic solvents (DESs), which have unique advantages such as low volatility and toxicity, biodegradability, and tunability.

Background: Benzodiazepine abuse remains a significant public health concern. Current sample preparation methods for benzodiazepine analysis from human serum often involve complex procedures that require large sample volumes and extensive organic solvent use. To address these limitations, this study presents a novel and efficient sample preparation method utilizing 3D-printed sorbent devices.

In this work, two novel (-)-menthol-based hydrophobic natural eutectic solvents with vanillin and cinnamic acid were prepared and applied as extraction solvents. In this regard, 12 endocrine disruptors, including phenol, 2,4-dimethylphenol, 2,3,6-trimethylphenol, 4--butylphenol, 4--butylphenol, 4--amylphenol, 4--hexylphenol, 4--octylphenol, 4--heptylphenol, 4--octylphenol, and 4--nonylphenol and bisphenol A, were studied in a green tea drink. A temperature-controlled liquid-liquid microextraction was used as the extraction method, and nano-liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection was used as the separation and determination system.

Bisphenols may negatively impact human health. In this study, we propose the use of HPLC-FLD for the simultaneous determination of bisphenols in pericardial fluid samples collected from patients with coronary artery disease undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. For sample preparation, a fast, simple, and "green" DLLME method was used, achieving mean recovery values in the range of 62%-98% with relative standard deviations between 2% and 6% for all analytes.

A flat membrane-based liquid-phase microextraction (FM-LPME) method was developed for the first time to simultaneously separate and extract basic and acidic pesticide analytes from the same sample. Using carbendazim and pirimicarb as representative basic pesticides, along with bromacil, diflubenzuron and 1,2-dibenzoyl-1‑tert-butylhydrazine (RH-5849) as representative acidic pesticides, the performance of FM-LPME for the extraction of these model pesticides has been optimised individually. Under optimal extraction conditions, the developed FM-LPME-LC-MS/MS method exhibited excellent linearity, with R values exceeding 0.
