Abstract
Headspace microextraction has already been established as the method of choice for analyzing volatiles blended in complex matrices, such as environmental, food and biological samples. The modern trend of analytical chemistry for ‘going small’ has led to the successful development of various sorbing materials and microextraction techniques. As it is anticipated, microextraction is usually combined with powerful separation and optical techniques permitting enhanced recoveries of analytes, selectivity and sensitivity. In addition, derivatization reactions are often employed for improved detectability of several classes of compounds. Volatile compounds of biological significance are key substances due to the fact that they may constitute a characteristic of the status of the organism. A closer look at the biological applications of the headspace microextraction techniques (solid-phase and single drop microextraction) is the primary aim of this review. The variability of biological samples and analytes are considered primarily, while derivatization and optimization strategies are also discussed.

Abstract
Integration of sampling and sample preparation with various analytical instruments is a highly desirable feature for any analytical method. This is most conveniently achieved by using microextraction techniques or various microdevices. Among these techniques, solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is particularly remarkable due to its simplicity and effectiveness. This review discusses the most recent applications of SPME in bioanalysis, grouped according to the analytical instrument that SPME is coupled to. It is shown that one of the most important aspects of such analytical methods is the ability of SPME to perform direct and selective extraction of analytes from complex biological samples. By far, the most popular method continues to be SPME coupled to GC. Nevertheless, the last 2 years have witnessed significant advances in other areas, such as successful automation of SPME coupled to liquid chromatography and the development of new coatings suitable for direct extraction from biological samples. Furthermore, a few bioanalytical applications based on direct coupling of SPME to MS, ion mobility spectrometry, CE and analytical chemiluminescence have been reported.
