Abstract
An automated high-capacity sorption device for GC analysis of ultra trace components has been developed. The scope of the presented technique was to combine the simplicity of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with the high extraction efficiency of the stir bar sorptive extraction technology. Sorptive extractions of water samples were performed using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) rubber tubing (120 microl) mounted onto a glass rod. The sampling procedure was carried out by a robotic autoinjector. Since the setup is fully automated, unattended and precise time-controlled extraction of samples is possible and makes quantitation with non-equilibrium extractions feasible. The sorption probes are easy to exchange, which facilitates off-line/in-field sampling. The system was evaluated with a test mixture of 44 environmentally hazardous compounds. Detection limits were found to be in the sub-ppt region. The performance of the system was demonstrated with the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in urban snow.

Abstract
Miniaturized sample preparation methods designed as the sample pretreatment for liquid phase separations, such as liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis and capillary electrochromatography, have been reviewed especially for the on-line coupling of the sample preparation process and the separation process. The development of the desorption interfaces for the effective combining of the sample preparation and subsequent liquid phase separations is briefly described along with the applications of the combined analytical systems to the analysis of complex sample mixtures such as biological and environmental matrices. Novel use of fine polymeric filaments as the extraction medium for microscale liquid phase separation methods are investigated and a comparison is made with other sample preparation techniques. Polymer coating onto the fibrous material is also introduced to further develop microscale sample preparation methods with improved extraction performance. Several other microscale sample preparation methods having a potential compatibility to the liquid phase separations are also described for future applications of these techniques.

Abstract
Progress during the last 5 years in on-line LC-GC and related techniques is reviewed. In normal-phase LC-GC, the wire interface proved to have advantages over the loop type interface. Further investigations on the solvent evaporation process in an uncoated precolumn under conditions of an early vapour exit revealed that the rules for the transfer by the retention gap techniques must be modified. For reversed-phase LC-GC, approaches with a phase transfer compete with direct evaporation. Eluents were extracted into a bed of Tenax located in a programmed-temperature vaporiser and thermally desorbed. Direct evaporation is possible when a hot vaporising chamber is used and solvent/solute separation occurs in a separate compartment, a coated precolumn possibly in combination with packed beds. As a future strategy, LC-GC transfer techniques should be adjusted to those of large volume injection and involve a single device. It is believed that on-column injection/transfer is the choice. This requires that concurrent evaporation in LC-GC is performed by the on-column interface.

Abstract
On-line combination of equilibrium sorptive enrichment and gas chromatography is used for the analysis of a group of pollutants varying widely in polarity and volatility in aqueous samples at trace levels. For the ESE process open-tubular traps were used. The newly developed hyphenated method shows a high sensitivity for all the compounds under study. The detection limits were typically between 0.1 and 1 microg/l. The sample volumes required for the compounds to reach equilibrium with the stationary phase are in the range of 20 ml for the aromatic hydrocarbons included in the study (benzene, toluene and p-xylene), to 200 ml for epichlorohydrin and dichlorohydrin. Within- and between-day precision of the absolute peak areas varied between 3 and 16%. The performance of the new method was tested by the analysis of different environmental water samples.

Abstract
Established standard methods for analysing aqueous pollutants by capillary gas chromatography are cumbersome, time-consuming and expensive. With the aim of replacing the sample preparation procedures with direct concentrating and thermal desorption steps multichannel silicone-rubber traps were tested to determine breakthrough volumes and optimum accumulation conditions as a function of water flow-rate. Larger multichannel traps, consisting of 32 silicone tubes in parallel were made to increase the collection flow-rate through the trap with the same extraction efficiency of the initial smaller traps. It was shown that by increasing the number of parallel silicone tubes in the multichannel trap the breakthrough volume of benzene is 37 ml at a flow-rate of 75 microl/min and the trap displays 11 theoretical plates under these conditions.

Abstract
The application of programmed temperature vaporisation (PTV) in capillary gas chromatographic analysis is reviewed. The development of the different strategies as well as the state of the art are described. As the analytes are normally enriched in the PTV insert, the quoted papers are subdivided depending on whether the enrichment was carried out from organic solvents, from water or from gaseous media. Furthermore, the possibilities of PTVs for on-line coupling with sample preparation methods or other separation techniques and their use as thermoreactors are mentioned.

Abstract
Methods currently in use to combine the preparation of aqueous samples on-line with capillary gas chromatography (GC) comprise heartcut-orientated reversed-phase liquid chromatography-GC and analyte-isolation-orientated analyte extraction-GC. These approaches either use techniques in which water is directly introduced onto the GC column, or an indirect approach in which water is eliminated, i.e., by solid-phase extraction, solid-phase microextraction or liquid-liquid extraction, prior to introduction of the analytes onto the GC column. The latter type of approach is much more successful and user-friendly, and many applications have been reported.

Abstract
The analysis of pesticides is relevant to both food quality and the environment. Many laboratories are occupied with the analysis of pesticides in food, water or soil. Capillary gas chromatography is the technique most widely used in pesticide analysis. In present laboratory practice it serves as a screening method for over 300 pesticides. In this review we describe the role of gas chromatography as an analytical tool in combination with currently used or recently developed sample preparation techniques.

Abstract
The kinetic properties of cartridge and disk solid-phase extraction devices are determined by forced-flow liquid chromatography. Typical cartridges provide about 5-15 theoretical plates per cm of bed height and particle-loaded membranes provide about 4-9 theoretical plates for a 0.5-mm-thick membrane. It is shown that cartridge devices fail to provide their maximum trapping performance because of inadequate packing density and that the required packing density could be easily achieved in practice with particles of a standard size. The retention properties of common sorbents for extraction from water and air are characterized with the solvation parameter model. For predominantly aqueous solutions a favorable cavity term results in increased retention while polar interactions tend to reduce retention. Retention on porous polymer sorbents is more complicated because of their capacity to absorb significant amounts of the sample processing solvent resulting in solvent-dependent changes in retention properties. For trapping organic volatiles from air cavity formation and dispersion interactions are important, and in the case of Tenax its capacity for induction interactions is also significant.
