Abstract
We reviewed the toxicokinetics of styrene to introduce reliable surrogates for biological monitoring of styrene workers. Also, extraction techniques and analytical methods for styrene and its metabolites have been discussed. Sample preparation is the main bottleneck of the analytical techniques for styrene and its metabolites. While some microextraction methods have been developed to overcome such drawbacks, some still have limitations such as long extraction time, fiber swelling and breakage, and the cost and the limited lifetime of the fiber. Among all, microextraction by packed sorbents coupled with high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (MEPS-HPLC-UV) can be the method of choice for determining styrene metabolites. Few studies investigated unchanged styrene in breath samples. Chemical determination in exhaled breath provides new insights into organ toxicity in workers with inhalation exposures and can be considered as a fascinating tool in risk assessment strategies. Taking blood samples is invasive and less accepted by workers than other samples. In contrast, breath analysis is the most attractive method for workers because breath samples are easy to collect and non-invasive, and does not require worker transfer to health facilities. Therefore, developing selective and sensitive methods for determining styrene in breath samples is recommended for future studies.

Abstract
In drug discovery and development, the quantification of drugs in biological samples is an important task for the determination of the physiological performance of the investigated drugs. After sampling, the next step in the analytical process is sample preparation. Because of the low concentration levels of drug in plasma and the variety of the metabolites, the selected extraction technique should be virtually exhaustive. Recent developments of sample handling techniques are directed, from one side, toward automatization and online coupling of sample preparation units. The primary objective of this review is to present the recent developments in microextraction sample preparation methods for analysis of drugs in biological fluids. Microextraction techniques allow for less consumption of solvent, reagents, and packing materials, and small sample volumes can be used. In this review the use of solid phase microextraction (SPME), microextraction in packed sorbent (MEPS), and stir-bar sorbtive extraction (SBSE) in drug analysis will be discussed. In addition, the use of new sorbents such as monoliths and molecularly imprinted polymers will be presented.

Abstract
Sample preparation is widely accepted as the most labor-intensive and error-prone part of the bioanalytical process. The recent advances in this field have been focused on the miniaturization and integration of sample preparation online with analytical instrumentation, in order to reduce laboratory workload and increase analytical performance. From this perspective, microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS) has emerged in the last few years as a powerful sample preparation approach suitable to be easily automated with liquid and gas chromatographic systems applied in a variety of bioanalytical areas (pharmaceutical, clinical, toxicological, environmental and food research). This paper aims to provide an overview and a critical discussion of recent bioanalytical methods reported in literature based on MEPS, with special emphasis on those developed for the quantification of therapeutic drugs and/or metabolites in biological samples. The advantages and some limitations of MEPS, as well as its comparison with other extraction techniques, are also addressed herein.

Abstract
The importance of sample preparation methods as the first stage in bioanalysis is described. In this article, the sample preparation concept and strategies will be discussed, along with the requirements for good sample preparation. The most widely used sample preparation methods in the pharmaceutical industry are presented; for example, the need for same-day rotation of results from large numbers of biological samples in pharmaceutical industry makes high throughput bioanalysis more essential. In this article, high-throughput sample preparation techniques are presented; examples are given of the extraction and concentration of analytes from biological matrices, including protein precipitation, solid-phase extraction, liquid–liquid extraction and microextraction-related techniques. Finally, the potential role of selective extraction methods, including molecular imprinted phases, is considered.

Abstract
The determination of ropivacaine and its major metabolites in urine was performed using microextraction in a packed syringe as an on-line sample preparation method with LC and MS/MS. The sampling sorbent utilized was polystyrene polymer. [2H7]ropivacaine was used as the internal standard. The lower LOQ was 5.0 nmol/L. The calibration curves were obtained within the concentration range 5-2000 nmol/ L in urine. The regression correlation coefficients for urine samples were > or = 0.999 for all runs. The between-batch accuracy and precision values were determined from six replicates of quality control (QC) samples at three different concentrations in human urine. The mean accuracy values for the QC samples, reported as the percentage difference from the nominal value, were in the range of 99-115%. The precisions, given as the RSDs, were in the range 1.9-11%. The present method is miniaturized and fully automated and can be used for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies.

Abstract
A new technique for sample preparation on-line with liquid chromatographic/tandem mass spectrometric (LC/MS/MS) assay was developed. Microextraction in a packed syringe (MEPS) is a new miniaturized, solid-phase extraction technique that can be connected on-line to gas or liquid chromatography without any modifications. In MEPS approximately 1 mg of the solid packing material is inserted into a syringe (100-250 microl) as a plug. Sample preparation takes place on the packed bed. The bed can be coated to provide selective and suitable sampling conditions. The new method is very promising, very easy to use, fully automated, of low cost and rapid in comparison with previously used methods. This paper presents the development and validation of a method for MEPS on-line with LC/MS/MS. Ropivacaine and its metabolites (PPX and 3-OH-ropivacaine) in human plasma samples were used as model substances. The method was validated and the calibration curves were evaluated by means of quadratic regression and weighted by the inverse of the concentration, 1/x, for the calibration range 2-2000 nM. The applied polymer could be used more than 100 times before the syringe was discarded. The extraction recovery was between 40 and 60%. The results showed high correlation coefficients (R(2) > 0.999) for all analytes in the calibration range studied. The accuracy, expressed as a percentage variation from the nominal concentration values, ranged from 0 to 6%. The precision, expressed as the relative standard deviation, at three different concentrations (quality control samples) was consistently about 2-10%. The limit of quantification was 2 nM.

Abstract
A method of analysis based on solid-phase extraction coupled with capillary gas chromatographic system for determination of mepivacaine, bupivacaine and lidocaine from human serum was developed. As extraction sorbents were used Chromosorb 103, Tenax-GC and Chromosorb T. The best extraction sorbent proved to be Chromosorb 103. Their recoveries ranged from 91 to 94% at the target concentrations of approx. 1.5 microgml(-1) in serum. Relative standard deviation of the recoveries ranged from 3.11 to 5.30 at these concentrations. As internal standard was used lidocaine. The chromatographic analysis was performed on a gas chromatograph equipped with a capillary column, HP-Innowax, and flame ionisation detector. Samples were injected in splitless mode. This method was applied in a stomatological clinic to healthy volunteers to whom superior-posterior alveolar nerve block anesthesia with mepivacaine was administered.

Abstract
Busulphan (Bu) is an alkylating agent used in preparative regimen before stem cell transplantation (SCT). Bu has a narrow therapeutic window, and underdosing or overdosing may have a fatal outcome for the patient. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) combined with dose adjustment is currently used to optimize and individualize therapy with Bu. However, this approach is limited to centers with laboratory facilities. An automated and easy method for measurement of Bu plasma concentrations may facilitate TDM for Bu and thus improve the clinical outcome. A solid-phase microextraction (SPME) on line with gas chromatography (GC) and mass-spectrometric detection to quantify Bu in human plasma samples was developed using in-vial derivatization. Bu was mixed with reagent in a 2-mL vial and shaken for 15 minutes at 80 degrees C; subsequently, the SPME fiber was immersed into the vial for 15 minutes. The fiber was washed in water for 10 seconds before injection. Several parameters influencing the extraction and recovery were studied, such as absorption and desorption times, the effects of the temperature on the reaction, and the shaking time on the derivatization yield. Carbowax-divinylbenzene, polyacrylate, and polydimethylsiloxane fibers were tested. The carbowax-divinylbenzene fiber resulted in the highest recovery in plasma samples. The validation of the method showed a high chromatographic selectivity and a good sensitivity (LOQ = 20 ng/mL). Coefficient of variation for SPME was less than 15%. The results showed good correlation between Bu concentrations and response within the range of 40 to 2500 ng/mL (R2 = 0.999). The accuracy ranged from 94% to 106%. This is well in line with the international criteria for validation. The present method was applied to patient plasma. The obtained results were comparable with the results obtained from GC with electron capture detection. The authors conclude that this method has shortened the analysis time considerably and is fully automated, which benefits TDM of Bu in SCT patients.
