Abstract
Nanocomposite microbeads (average diameter = 10-100 µm) were prepared by a microemulsion-solidification method and applied to the magnetic solid-phase extraction (m-SPE) of fourteen analytes, among pesticides, drugs, and hormones, from human urine samples. The microbeads, perfectly spherical in shape to maximize the surface contact with the analytes, were composed of magnetic nanoparticles dispersed in a polylactic acid (PLA) solid bulk, decorated with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mPLA@MWCNTs). In particular, PLA was recovered from filters of smoked electronic cigarettes after an adequate cleaning protocol. A complete morphological characterization of the microbeads was performed via Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry analysis (TGA and DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The recovery study of the m-SPE procedure showed yields ≥ 64%, with the exception of 4-chloro-2-methylphenol (57%) at the lowest spike level (3 µg L-1). The method was validated according to the main FDA guidelines for the validation of bioanalytical methods. Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, precision and accuracy were below 11% and 15%, respectively, and detection limits of 0.1-1.8 µg L-1. Linearity was studied in the range of interest 1-15 µg L-1 with determination coefficients greater than 0.99. In light of the obtained results, the nanocomposite microbeads have proved to be a valid and sustainable alternative to traditional sorbents, offering good analytical standards and being synthetized from recycled plastic material. One of the main objectives of the current work is to provide an innovative and optimized procedure for the recycling of a plastic waste, to obtain a regular and reliable microstructure, whose application is here presented in the field of analytical chemistry. The simplicity and greenness of the method endows the procedure with a versatile applicability in different research and industrial fields.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1271:341468. [PMID: 37328248 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Since environmental awareness has increased in analytical chemistry, the demand for green sample preparation methods continues to grow. Microextractions such as solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) miniaturize the pre-concentration step and are a more sustainable alternative to conventional large-scale extractions. However, the integration of microextractions in standard and routine analysis methods is rare, although these applications are used most frequently and have a role model function. Therefore, it is important to highlight that microextractions are capable to replace large-scale extractions in standard and routine methods. This review discusses the greenness, benefits, and drawbacks of the most common LPME and SPME variants compatible with gas chromatography based on the following key evaluation principles: Automation, solvent consumption, hazards, reusability, energy consumption, time efficiency, and handling. Furthermore, the need to integrate microextractions into standard and routine analytical methods is presented by using method greenness evaluation metrics AGREE, AGREEprep, and GAPI applied to USEPA methods and their replacements.

Abstract
Sample preparation frequently is considered the most critical stage of the analytical workflow. It affects the analytical throughput and costs; moreover, it is the primary source of error and possible sample contamination. To increase efficiency, productivity, and reliability, while minimizing costs and environmental impacts, miniaturization and automation of sample preparation are necessary. Nowadays, several types of liquid-phase and solid-phase microextractions are available, as well as different automatization strategies. Thus, this review summarizes recent developments in automated microextractions coupled with liquid chromatography, from 2016 to 2022. Therefore, outstanding technologies and their main outcomes, as well as miniaturization and automation of sample preparation, are critically analyzed. Focus is given to main microextraction automation strategies, such as flow techniques, robotic systems, and column-switching approaches, reviewing their applications to the determination of small organic molecules in biological, environmental, and food/beverage samples.

Abstract
Protein-rich aqueous samples such as milk and plasma usually require complex sample preparation steps prior to instrumental analysis. This study proposed a novel cotton fiber-supported liquid extraction (CF-SLE) method for convenient sample preparation. Natural cotton fiber was directly loaded into a syringe tube to conveniently construct the extraction device. No filter frits were required due to the fibrous feature of the cotton fibers. The cost of the extraction device was less than 0.5 CNY, and the costly syringe tube could be easily reused to decrease the cost further. Extraction used a simple two-step protocol: protein-rich aqueous sample loading and elution. Emulsification and centrifugation steps involved in the classic liquid-liquid extraction were avoided. As a proof-of-concept study, the glucocorticoids in milk and plasma were extracted with satisfactory extraction recoveries. Coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, a sensitive quantification method was established with excellent linearity (R2 > 0.991) as well as good accuracy (85.7-117.3%) and precision (<14.3%). This system is simple, low-cost, reproducible, and easy to automate. Thus, the proposed CF-SLE method is promising for the routine sample preparation of protein-rich aqueous samples prior to instrumental analysis.

Abstract
Green solvents (GSs) has gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential as safer and more sustainable alternatives to traditional organic solvents. Solvents are used in a wide range of applications, from industrial processes to everyday products. Solvent emissions and losses can have a significant impact on the environment and human health, which is why many initiatives are being undertaken to get rid of or switch to eco-friendly alternatives. A key area of green chemistry that led to the concept of "green" solvents is the development of alternative solvents that are less toxic and more environmentally friendly than traditional organic solvents. The advantages of using green solvents over conventional ones are their environmental friendliness, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and simplicity of preparation. Different sample preparation techniques have successfully utilized green solvents to offer a sustainable separation media for the extraction of a variety of inorganic and organic compounds which are crucial for research in environmental samples. Recent developments in green analytical chemistry (GAC) have focused on how to prepare and use samples using environmentally sustainable solvents. The current study covers the advance and currently used green solvents with an emphasis on environmentally friendly sample preparation methods. This review aims to briefly summarize the current state of knowledge about the use of green solvents particularly ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents and switchable solvents (SSs) with the perspective of GAC in sample preparation methods.

Abstract
Lab-In-Syringe direct immersion single drop microextraction is proposed as an automated sample pretreatment methodology and coupled online to HPLC with fluorescence detection for the determination of fluoroquinolones in environmental waters. For the first time, a drop of a natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES), synthesized from hexanoic acid and thymol, has been used as an extractant in automated single-drop microextraction. The extraction procedure was carried out within the 5 mL void of an automatic syringe pump. A 9-position head valve served the aspiration of all required solutions, air, waste disposal, and hyphenation with the HPLC instrument. Sample mixing during extraction was done by a magnetic stirring bar placed inside the syringe. Only 60 μL of NADES were required omitting toxic classical solvents and improving the greenness of the proposed methodology. By direct injection, linear working ranges between 0.1 and 5 μg L-1 were achieved for all fluoroquinolones. The limit of quantification values and enrichment factors ranged from 20 ng L-1 to 30 ng L-1 and 35 to 45, respectively. Accuracies obtained from the analysis of spiked surface water and wastewater treatment plant effluent analysis at two concentration levels (0.5 and 4 μg L-1) ranged from 84.6% to 119.7%, with RSD values typically <3%.

Abstract
In this work, an automated liquid-liquid microextraction procedure for the determination of sulfonamides (sulfamethoxazole, sulfamethazine and sulfapyridine) in urine samples using natural deep eutectic solvent is presented for the first time. The mechanism for extraction of sulfonamides was based on the formation of colored Schiff bases in the presence of vanillin, which acted as a derivatization reagent and precursor of natural deep eutectic solvent (an extractant). In this procedure, thymol was used as both media for Schiff bases formation and as a second precursor of the natural deep eutectic solvent. The formation of the Schiff bases was confirmed by mass spectrometry. A Lab-In-Syringe concept was applied for the automation of the microextraction procedure. The procedure involved mixing the sample and natural deep eutectic solvent into a syringe of a flow system, formation and microextraction of colored Schiff base followed by UV-Vis detection. Under optimal automated conditions the limits of detection, calculated from a blank test based on 3s (sigma) were 0.06, 0.1, and 0.06 mg L-1 for sulfapyridine, sulfamethoxazole and sulfamethazine. The proposed automated procedure permitted the routine determination of one drug (sulfamethoxazole, sulfamethazine or sulfapyridine) in urine samples to be achieved in less than 10 min.

Abstract
Single-drop microextraction (SDME) techniques are efficient approaches to pretreatment of aqueous samples. The main advantage of SDME lies in the miniaturization of the solvent extraction process, minimizing the hazards associated with the use of toxic organic solvents. Thus, SDME techniques are cost-effective, and represent less harm to the environment, subscribing to green analytical chemistry principles. In practice, two main approaches can be used to perform SDME - direct immersion (DI)-SDME and headspace (HS)-SDME. Even though the DI-SDME has been shown to be quite effective for extraction and enrichment of various organic compounds, applications of DI-SDME are normally more suitable for moderately polar and non-polar semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) using organic solvents which are immiscible with water. In this review, we present a historical overview and current advances in DI-SDME, including the common analytical tools which are usually coupled with DI-SDME. The review also focuses on applications concerning SVOCs in environmental samples. Currents trends in DI-SDME and possible future direction of the procedure are discussed.

Abstract
Sample pretreatment is the first and the most important step of an analytical procedure. In routine analysis, liquid–liquid microextraction (LLE) is the most widely used sample pre-treatment technique, whose goal is to isolate the target analytes, provide enrichment, with cleanup to lower the chemical noise, and enhance the signal. The use of extensive volumes of hazardous organic solvents and production of large amounts of waste make LLE procedures unsuitable for modern, highly automated laboratories, expensive, and environmentally unfriendly. In the past two decades, liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) was introduced to overcome these drawbacks. Thanks to the need of only a few microliters of extraction solvent, LPME techniques have been widely adopted by the scientific community. The aim of this review is to report on the state-of-the-art LPME techniques used in gas and liquid chromatography. Attention was paid to the classification of the LPME operating modes, to the historical contextualization of LPME applications, and to the advantages of microextraction in methods respecting the value of green analytical chemistry. Technical aspects such as description of methodology selected in method development for routine use, specific variants of LPME developed for complex matrices, derivatization, and enrichment techniques are also discussed.

Abstract
Discovery of new protein biomarker candidates has become a major research goal in the areas of clinical chemistry, analytical chemistry, and biomedicine. These important species constitute the molecular target when it comes to diagnosis, prognosis, and further monitoring of disease. However, their analysis requires powerful, selective and high-throughput sample preparation and product (analyte) characterisation approaches. In general, manual sample processing is tedious, complex and time-consuming, especially when large numbers of samples have to be processed (e.g., in clinical studies). Automation via microtiter-plate platforms involving robotics has brought improvements in high-throughput performance while comparable or even better precisions and repeatability (intra-day, inter-day) were achieved. At the same time, waste production and exposure of laboratory personnel to hazards were reduced. In comprehensive protein analysis workflows (e.g., liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis), sample preparation is an unavoidable step. This review surveys the recent achievements in automation of bottom-up and top-down protein and/or proteomics approaches. Emphasis is put on high-end multi-well plate robotic platforms developed for clinical analysis and other biomedical applications. The literature from 2013 to date has been covered.

Abstract
About eight years ago, a new automation approach and flow technique called "Lab-In-Syringe" was proposed. It was derived from previous flow techniques, all based on handling reagent and sample solutions in a flow manifold. To date Lab-In-Syringe has evidently gained the interest of researchers in many countries, with new modifications, operation modes, and technical improvements still popping up. It has proven to be a versatile tool for the automation of sample preparation, particularly, liquid-phase microextraction approaches. This article aims to assist newcomers to this technique in system planning and setup by overviewing the different options for configurations, limitations, and feasible operations. This includes syringe orientation, in-syringe stirring modes, in-syringe detection, additional inlets, and addable features. The authors give also a chronological overview of technical milestones and a critical explanation on the potentials and shortcomings of this technique, calculations of characteristics, and tips and tricks on method development. Moreover, a comprehensive overview of the different operation modes of Lab-In-Syringe automated sample pretreatment is given focusing on the technical aspects and challenges of the related operations. We further deal with possibilities on how to fabricate required or useful system components, in particular by 3D printing technology, with over 20 different elements exemplarily shown. Finally, a short discussion on shortcomings and required improvements is given.

Abstract
In the last 5 years, additive manufacturing (three-dimensional printing) has emerged as a highly valuable technology to advance the field of analytical sample preparation. Three-dimensional printing enabled the cost-effective and rapid fabrication of devices for sample preparation, especially in flow-based mode, opening new possibilities for the development of automated analytical methods. Recent advances involve membrane-based three-dimensional printed separation devices fabricated by print-pause-print and multi-material three-dimensional printing, or improved three-dimensional printed holders for solid-phase extraction containing sorbent bead packings, extraction disks, fibers, and magnetic particles. Other recent developments rely on the direct three-dimensional printing of extraction sorbents, the functionalization of commercial three-dimensional printable resins, or the coating of three-dimensional printed devices with functional micro/nanomaterials. In addition, improved devices for liquid-liquid extraction such as extraction chambers, or phase separators are opening new possibilities for analytical method development combined with high-performance liquid chromatography. The present review outlines the current state-of-the-art of three-dimensional printing in analytical sample preparation.

Abstract
Aim: Microflow tandem mass spectrometry-based methods have been proposed as options to improve sensitivity and selectivity while improving sample utility and solvent consumption. Here, we evaluate a newly introduced microflow source, OptiFlow™, for quantitative performance. Results/methodology: We performed a comparison of the OptiFlow and IonDrive™ sources, respectively, on the same triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The comparison used a neat cocktail of commercially available drugs and extracted plasma samples monitoring midazolam and alprazolam metabolites. Microflow produced a 2–4× signal increase for the neat drug cocktail and a 5–10× increase for extracted plasma samples. Conclusion: The OptiFlow method consistently gave increased signal response relative to the IonDrive method and enabled a better lower limit of quantitation for defining phamacokinetics.

Abstract
Facile and cost-effective detection of multiple targets is essential for a variety of applications ranging from life sciences to environmental monitoring. Here, we report a versatile ratiometric fluorescence platform for multiple detection of various targets based on the conjugation of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) with protonated graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (Pg-C3N4 NSs). We demonstrate that intrinsic peroxidase-like activity of Pg-C3N4 NSs is enhanced by conjugating with ssDNA, and thus the oxidation of substrate o-phenylenediamine (OPD) is promoted in the presence of H2O2. The oxidation product 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP) can deliver a new fluorescence signal at 564 nm, and concurrently quench the intrinsic fluorescence of conjugates ssDNA/Pg-C3N4 NSs at 443 nm upon excitation at 370 nm. The transformation of fluorescence provides us a novel strategy for ratiometric fluorescence-based analytical sensing. Taking ssDNA as the target-recognition element of the conjugates ssDNA/Pg-C3N4 NSs, we favorably present ratiometric fluorescence detection of various targets including heavy metal ions (Hg2+) and biomolecules (Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)) in real samples by varying the ssDNA sequences. The present work provides a new strategy to develop facile methods for quantitative determination of various analytes and uncovers an innovative horizon for Pg-C3N4 NSs-based sensing platform fabrication.

Abstract
A novel concept for automation of nanostructured hollow-fiber supported microextraction, combining the principles of liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) and sorbent microextraction synergically, using mesofluidic platforms is proposed herein for the first time, and demonstrated with the determination of acidic drugs (namely, ketoprofen, ibuprofen, diclofenac and naproxen) in urine as a proof-of-concept applicability. Dispersed carbon nanofibers (CNF) are immobilized in the pores of a single-stranded polypropylene hollow fiber (CNF@HF) membrane, which is thereafter accommodated in a stereolithographic 3D-printed extraction chamber without glued components for ease of assembly. The analytical method involves continuous-flow extraction of the acidic drugs from a flowing stream donor (pH 1.7) into an alkaline stagnant acceptor (20 mmol L-1 NaOH) containing 10% MeOH (v/v) across a dihexyl ether impregnated CNF@HF membrane. The flow setup features entire automation of the microextraction process including regeneration of the organic film and on-line injection of the analyte-laden acceptor phase after downstream neutralization into a liquid chromatograph (LC) for reversed-phase core-shell column-based separation. Using a 12-cm long CNF@HF and a sample volume of 6.4 mL, linear dynamic ranges of ketoprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and ibuprofen, taken as models of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, spanned from ca. 5-15 µg L-1 to 500 µg L-1 with enhancement factors of 43-97 (against a direct injection of 10 µL standards into LC), and limits of detection from 1.6 to 4.3 µg L-1. Relative recoveries in real urine samples ranged from 97% to 105%, thus demonstrating the reliability of the automatic CNF@HF-LPME method for in-line matrix clean-up and determination of drugs in urine at therapeutically relevant concentrations.
