Abstract
Electrochemical (EC) detection is a powerful tool supporting simple, low-cost, and rapid analysis. Although screen printing is commonly used to mass fabricate disposable EC chips, its mask is relatively expensive. In this research, we demonstrated a method for fabricating three-electrode EC chips using 3D printing of relatively high-viscosity paste. The electrodes consisted of two layers, with carbon paste printed over silver/silver chloride paste, and the printed EC chips were baked at 70 °C for 1 h. Engineering challenges such as bulging of the tubing, clogging of the nozzle, dripping, and local accumulation of paste were solved by material selection for the tube and nozzle, and process optimization in 3D printing. The EC chips demonstrated good reversibility in redox reactions through cyclic voltammetry tests, and reliably detected heavy metal ions Pb(II) and Cd(II) in solutions using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry measurements. The results indicate that by optimizing the 3D printing of paste, EC chips can be obtained by maskless and flexible 3D printing techniques in lieu of screen printing.

Abstract
Four-dimensional printing (4DP) technologies are revolutionizing the fabrication of stimuli-responsive devices. To advance the analytical performance of conventional solid-phase extraction (SPE) devices using 4DP technology, in this study, we employed N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM)-incorporated photocurable resins and digital light processing three-dimensional printing to fabricate an SPE column with a [H+]/temperature dual-responsive monolithic packing stacked as interlacing cuboids to extract Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb ions. When these metal ions were eluted using 0.5% HNO3 solution as the eluent at a temperature below the lower critical solution temperature of polyNIPAM, the monolithic packing swelled owing to its hydrophilic/hydrophobic transition and electrostatic repulsion among the protonated units of polyNIPAM. These effects resulted in smaller interstitial volumes among these interlacing cuboids and improvements in the elution peak profiles of the metal ions, which, in turn, demonstrated the reduced method detection limits (MDLs; range, 0.2-7.2 ng L-1) during analysis using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. We studied the effects of optimizing the elution peak profiles of the metal ions on the analytical performance of this method and validated its reliability and applicability by analyzing the metal ions in reference materials (CASS-4, SLRS-5, 1643f, and Seronorm Trace Elements Urine L-2) and performing spike analyses of seawater, groundwater, river water, and human urine samples. Our results suggest that this 4D-printed elution-peak-guided dual-responsive monolithic packing enables lower MDLs when packed in an SPE column to facilitate the analyses of the metal ions in complex real samples.

Abstract
The development of environmental analysis devices with high performance is essential to assess the potential risks of environmental pollutants. However, it is still challenging to develop environmental analysis equipment with miniaturization, portability, and high sensitivity based on traditional processing techniques. In recent years, the popularity of 3D printing technology (3DP) with high precision, low cost, and unlimited design freedom has provided opportunities to solve the existing challenges of environmental analysis. 3D printing has brought solutions to promote the high performance and versatility of environmental analysis equipment by optimizing printing materials, enhancing equipment structure, and integrating multidisciplinary technology. In this paper, we comprehensively review the latest progress in 3D printing in various aspects of environmental analysis procedures, including but not limited to sample collection, pretreatment, separation, and detection. We highlight their advantages and challenges in determining various environmental contaminants through passive sampling, solid-phase extraction, chromatographic separation, and mass spectrometry detection. The manufacturing of 3D-printed environmental analysis devices is also discussed. Finally, we look forward to their development prospects and challenges.

Abstract
Post-printing functionalization can enhance the functionality and applicability of analytical devices manufactured using three-dimensional printing (3DP) technologies. In this study we developed a post-printing foaming-assisted coating scheme-through respective treatments with a formic acid (30%, v/v) solution and a sodium bicarbonate (0.5%, w/v) solution incorporating titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs; 1.0%, w/v)-for in situ fabrication of TiO2 NP-coated porous polyamide monoliths in 3D-printed solid phase extraction columns, thereby enhancing the extraction efficiencies of Cr(III), Cr(VI), As(III), As(V), Se(IV), and Se(VI) for speciation of inorganic Cr, As, and Se species in high-salt-content samples when using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. After optimizing the experimental conditions, the 3D-printed solid phase extraction columns with the TiO2 NP-coated porous monoliths extracted these species with 5.0- to 21.9-fold enhancements, relative to those obtained with the uncoated monolith, with absolute extraction efficiencies ranging from 84.5 to 98.3% and method detection limits ranging from 0.7 to 32.3 ng L-1. We validated the reliability of this multi-elemental speciation method through determination of these species in four reference materials [CASS-4 (nearshore seawater), SLRS-5 (river water), 1643f (fresh water), and Seronorm Trace Elements Urine L-2 (human urine); relative errors between certified and measured concentrations: 5.6 to +4.0%] and spike analyses of seawater, river water, agriculture waste, and human urine samples (spike recoveries: 96-104%; relative standard deviations of these measured concentrations all below 4.3%). Our results demonstrate that post-printing functionalization has great potential for future applicability in 3DP-enabling analytical methods.

Abstract
Although three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies can customize a diverse range of devices, cross-3D printing technique/material comparisons aimed at optimizing the fabrication of analytical devices have been rare. In this study, we evaluated the surface features of the channels in knotted reactors (KRs) fabricated using fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing [with poly(lactic acid) (PLA), polyamide, and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene filaments], and digital light processing and stereolithography 3D printing with photocurable resins. Also, their ability to retain Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb ions was evaluated to achieve the maximal sensitivities of these metal ions. After optimizing the techniques and materials for 3D printing of the KRs, the retention conditions, and the automatic analytical system, we observed good correlations (R > 0.9793) for the three 3D printing techniques in terms of the surface roughnesses of their channel sidewalls with respect to the signal intensities of their retained metal ions. The FDM 3D-printed PLA KR provided the best analytical performance, with the retention efficiencies of the tested metal ions all being greater than 73.9% and with the detection limits of the method ranging from 0.1 to 5.6 ng L-1. We used this analytical method to perform analyses of the tested metal ions in several reference materials (CASS-4, SLEW-3, 1643f, and 2670a). Spike analyses of complicated real samples verified the reliability and applicability of this analytical method, highlighting the possibility of tuning 3D printing techniques and materials to optimize the fabrication of mission-oriented analytical devices.

Abstract
Widespread demand for the analysis and control of water quality and supply for human activity and ecosystem sustainability has necessitated the continuous improvement of water analysis methods in terms of their reliability, efficiency, and costs. To satisfy these requirements, flow-injection analysis using different detection methods has successfully been developed in recent decades. This review, based on about 100 original research papers, presents the achievements in this field over the past ten years. Various methodologies for establishing flow-injection measurements are reviewed, together with microfluidics and portable systems. The developed applications mostly concern not only the determination of inorganic analytes but also the speciation analysis of different elements, and the determination of several total indices of water quality. Examples of the determination of organic residues (e.g., pesticides, phenolic compounds, and surfactants) in natural surface waters, seawater, groundwater, and drinking water have also been identified. Usually, changes in the format of manual procedures for flow-injection determination results in the improvement of various operational parameters, such as the limits of detection, the sampling rate, or selectivity in different matrices.

Abstract
Four-dimensional printing (4DP) technologies can extend the functionality and applicability of manufactured analytical devices through employing stimuli-responsive materials. In this study, we used a photocurable resin of stimuli-responsive shape-memory polymers and digital light processing three-dimensional printing (3DP) to fabricate a smart sample pretreatment device featuring a solid-phase extraction (SPE) column and a temperature-controlled flow-actuated valve. Through manipulation of the temperatures and flow rates of the sample, eluent, and rinsing streams, we used this 4D-printed SPE device to extract Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb ions from high-salt content samples and remove the sample matrix prior to their determination by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. After optimizing the valve design and operation and the analytical scheme, this device displayed competitive analytical performance-the method detection limits (MDLs) ranged from 0.7 to 22.1 ng L-1 for these metal ions (the MDLs ranged from 0.5 to 18.8 ng L-1 when validating the same printed SPE column using an online automatic system equipped with electric switching valves). Furthermore, we performed analyses of these metal ions in three reference materials (CASS-4, 1643f, and 2670a) and spike analyses of collected samples (seawater, ground water, river water, and human urine) to confirm the reliability and applicability of this analytical method. For the first time, 4DP has been used to fabricate a multi-functional, stimuli-responsive sample pretreatment device displaying analytical performance equal to that of a commercial apparatus. This novel approach builds upon the functionality and diversity of 3DP-enabling devices with the goal of developing more efficient analytical schemes.

Abstract
In recent years, a trend toward utilizing open access resources for laboratory research has begun. Open-source design strategies for scientific hardware rely upon the use of widely available parts, especially those that can be directly printed using additive manufacturing techniques and electronic components that can be connected to low-cost microcontrollers. Open-source software eliminates the need for expensive commercial licenses and provides the opportunity to design programs for specific needs. In this review, the impact of the "open-source movement" within the field of chemical separations is described, primarily through a comprehensive look at research in this area over the past five years. Topics that are covered include general laboratory equipment, sample preparation techniques, separations-based analysis, detection strategies, electronic system control, and software for data processing. Remaining hurdles and possible opportunities for further adoption of open-source approaches in the context of these separations-related topics are also discussed.

Abstract
In this review, we cite references from the period between 2015 and 2020 related to the use of a flow-based system as a tool to obtain a modern analytical system for speeding up data production and improving performance. Based on a great deal of concepts for automatic systems, there are several research groups introduced in the development of flow-based systems to increase sample throughput while retaining the reproducibility and repeatability as well as to propose new platforms of flow-based systems, such as microfluidic chip and paper-based devices. Additionally, to apply a developed system for on-site analysis is one of the key features for development. We believe that this review will be very interested and useful for readers because of its impact on developing novel analytical systems. The content of the review is categorized following their applications including quality control and food safety, clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring and miscellaneous.

Abstract
The development of a new, lower cost method for trace explosives recovery from complex samples is presented using miniaturised, click-together and leak-free 3D-printed solid phase extraction (SPE) blocks. For the first time, a large selection of ten commercially available 3D printing materials were comprehensively evaluated for practical, flexible and multiplexed SPE using stereolithography (SLA), PolyJet and fused deposition modelling (FDM) technologies. Miniaturised single-piece, connectable and leak-free block housings inspired by Lego® were 3D-printed in a methacrylate-based resin, which was found to be most stable under different aqueous/organic solvent and pH conditions, using a cost-effective benchtop SLA printer. Using a tapered SPE bed format, frit-free packing of multiple different commercially available sorbent particles was also possible. Coupled SPE blocks were then shown to offer efficient analyte enrichment and a potentially new approach to improve the stability of recovered analytes in the field when stored on the sorbent, rather than in wet swabs. Performance was measured using liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry and was better, or similar, to commercially available coupled SPE cartridges, with respect to recovery, precision, matrix effects, linearity and range, for a selection of 13 peroxides, nitramines, nitrate esters and nitroaromatics. Mean % recoveries from dried blood, oil residue and soil matrices were 79 ± 24%, 71 ± 16% and 76 ± 24%, respectively. Excellent detection limits between 60 fg for 3,5-dinitroaniline to 154 pg for nitroglycerin were also achieved across all matrices. To our knowledge, this represents the first application of 3D printing to SPE of so many organic compounds in complex samples. Its introduction into this forensic method offered a low-cost, 'on-demand' solution for selective extraction of explosives, enhanced flexibility for multiplexing/design alteration and potential application at-scene.

Selective determination of Cr(Ⅵ) and non-chromatographic speciation analysis of inorganic chromium by chemical vapor generation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Talanta 2020; 218:121128. [PMID: 32797885 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2020.121128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2020] [Revised: 05/02/2020] [Accepted: 05/04/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
A novel and sensitive method for the selective determination of Cr(VI) and non-chromatographic speciation of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) was developed based on chemical vapor generation (CVG) in KBH4-acid system for sample introduction into an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) for detection. The CVG of Cr(VI), rather than Cr(III), was found to be remarkably enhanced in the presence of sodium diethylaminodithioformate (DDTC). After the oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(VI) by KMnO4, the quantitation of Cr(III) could be obtained based on the difference between the concentration of total chromium and that of Cr(VI). Parameters affecting the CVG reaction and determination of Cr(VI) were evaluated in detail, including the concentrations of DDTC, hydrochloric acid and KBH4, the sample flow rate, as well as the length of reaction and transferring tubing. Under optimal conditions, the CVG efficiency and the limit of detection (LOD) of Cr(VI) were found to be 28% and 0.2 ng mL-1, respectively. The relative standard deviations for seven replicate measurements of 20 ng mL-1 of Cr(Ⅵ) was 1.8%. Furthermore, with excess DDTC (100 μg mL-1) added to the test solutions, possible interferences from Cu2+ (up to 400 ng mL-1) could be eliminated. The proposed method was thus successfully applied to the determination of Cr(VI) in three real water samples and one certified reference water sample, as well as two simulated water samples of Cr(VI) and Cr(III), all with satisfactory results. The possible reasons were discussed for the varied degrees of enhancement between Cr(III) and Cr(VI).

Abstract
A flow enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method based on light absorption by enzymatically generated aniline oligomer in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), H2O2, and aniline is proposed. Aniline oligomer is rapidly formed through the polymerization reaction via the enzymatic reaction, and its fast reaction rate is beneficial for flow ELISA. An anti-3-phenoxybenzoic acid monoclonal antibody (mAb) was produced by mice, and was used for the flow competitive ELISA for the determination of 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3PBA), which was performed on an acrylic plate having a Y-shaped channel. ABS resin beads (d = 1 mm) were filled in the channel to increase the surface area for the adsorption of the mAb. A clank-type detection chamber (optical length: 1 cm) made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) containing carbon black, which can significantly decrease light scattering, was fabricated with a 3D printer. The PDMS detection chamber was connected to the outlet of the acrylic flow chip with a tube. A blue LED was used as a light source for the flow ELISA. The inhabitation concentration at 50% and the detection range (absorbance change from 90 to 10%) for the proposed flow competitive ELISA were 0.5 ppm and 0.05-5 ppm, respectively. We also performed the flow competitive ELISA in an artificial and real urine, and no significant matrix effect of the urine samples on the ELISA was found.

Abstract
Abstract
The rapid development of additive technologies in recent years is accompanied by their intensive introduction into various fields of science and related technologies, including analytical chemistry. The use of 3D printing in analytical instrumentation, in particular, for making prototypes of new equipment and manufacturing parts having complex internal spatial configuration, has been proved as exceptionally effective. Additional opportunities for the widespread introduction of 3D printing technologies are associated with the development of new optically transparent, current- and thermo-conductive materials, various composite materials with desired properties, as well as possibilities for printing with the simultaneous combination of several materials in one product. This review will focus on the application of 3D printing for production of new advanced analytical devices, such as compact chromatographic columns for high performance liquid chromatography, flow reactors and flow cells for detectors, devices for passive concentration of toxic compounds and various integrated devices that allow significant improvements in chemical analysis. A special attention is paid to the complexity and functionality of 3D-printed devices.

Abstract
In this study, we used a multimaterial three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology and porous composite filaments (Lay-Fomm, Gel-Lay, and Lay-Felt) to fabricate solid phase extraction (SPE) columns for the enhanced extraction of multiple metal ions. When employed as sample pretreatment devices in an automatic flow injection analysis/inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) system, these 3D-printed SPE columns performed the near-complete extractions of Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb ions from natural water samples prior to ICP-MS determination. After optimizing the column fabrication, the extraction conditions, and the automatic analysis system, the column packed with the porous composite Lay-Fomm 40 was found to provide the highest extraction performance-the extraction efficiencies of the listed metal ions were all greater than 99.2%, and the detection limits of the method ranged from 0.3 to 6.7 ng L-1. The detection of these metal ions in several reference materials (CASS-4, SLEW-3, 1640a, and 1643f) validated the reliability of this method; spike analyses of collected water samples (groundwater, river water, and seawater) demonstrated the applicability of the method. The nature of the printing materials enhanced the analytical performance of 3D-printed sample pretreatment devices. Such approaches will be useful to diversify the range of sample preparation schemes and analytical methods enabled by 3DP technologies.

Abstract
Traditional microfabrication techniques suffer from several disadvantages, including the inability to create truly three-dimensional (3D) architectures, expensive and time-consuming processes when changing device designs, and difficulty in transitioning from prototyping fabrication to bulk manufacturing. 3D printing is an emerging technique that could overcome these disadvantages. While most 3D printed fluidic devices and features to date have been on the millifluidic size scale, some truly microfluidic devices have been shown. Currently, stereolithography is the most promising approach for routine creation of microfluidic structures, but several approaches under development also have potential. Microfluidic 3D printing is still in an early stage, similar to where polydimethylsiloxane was two decades ago. With additional work to advance printer hardware and software control, expand and improve resin and printing material selections, and realize additional applications for 3D printed devices, we foresee 3D printing becoming the dominant microfluidic fabrication method.

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
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) can benefit from operating in miniaturized devices as they enable quantitative, low-cost measurements with reduced analysis time and reagents consumption. However, most of the existing devices that offer ITC capabilities either do not yet allow proper control of reaction conditions or are limited by issues such as evaporation or surface adsorption caused inaccurate solution concentration information and unintended changes in biomolecular properties because of aggregation. In this paper, we present a microdevice that combines 3D-printed microfluidic structures with a polymer-based MEMS thermoelectric sensor to enable quantitative ITC measurements of biomolecular interactions. Benefitting from the geometric flexibility of 3D-printing, the microfluidic design features calorimetric chambers in a differential cantilever configuration that improves the thermal insulation and reduces the thermal mass of the implementing device. Also, 3D-printing microfluidic structures use non-permeable materials to avoid potential adsorption. Finally, the robustness of the polymeric MEMS sensor chip allows the device to be assembled reversibly and leak-free, and hence reusable. We demonstrate the utility of the device by quantitative ITC characterization of a biomolecular binding system, ribonuclease A (RNase A) bind with cytidine 2'-monophosphate (2'CMP) down to a practically useful sample concentration of 0.2 mM. The thermodynamic parameters of the binding system, including the stoichiometry, equilibrium binding constant, and enthalpy change are obtained and found to agree with values previously reported in the literature.

Abstract
3D printing technology is increasingly used in flow analysis, to develop low cost and tailor-made devices. The possibility of grafting specific molecules onto 3D printed parts offers new perspectives for the development of flow systems. In this study, a MPFS system including a dicarboxylate 1,5-diphenyl-3-thiocarbazone grafted 3D-printed device has been developed for mercury determination. For this purpose, the surface of 3D-printed cuboids was first modified with amine functional groups and then grafted with dicarboxylate 1,5-diphenyl-3-thiocarbazone. This new grafted device resulted in selective mercury preconcentration with extraction and elution yields higher than 90% even at high sampling flow rates. The detection can then be carried out in two ways: a direct detection of mercury extracted onto 3D-printed grafted cuboids by atomic absorption spectrophotometry after amalgam on gold or a detection of mercury in solution after elution with l-cysteine by spectrophotometry or cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry.

Abstract
A 3D printed solid-phase extraction (SPE) device for uranium(VI) extraction has been fabricated using stereolithographic 3D printing. The 3D printed device is shaped as a stirred reactor chamber containing a network of small cubes, which were impregnated with TEVA resin for the extraction of U(VI) from water matrices without doing any previous pretreatment. A flow-through system was combined with off-line ICP-MS detection for the accurate and rapid determination of U(VI) at trace levels. The automatic system was satisfactorily optimized using experimental design, obtaining 0.03 and 0.09 ng U(VI) of detection and quantification limits, respectively, and a durability of 11 consecutive extractions. The reliability of the proposed system was confirmed through the analysis of a reference water material (CSN/CIEMAT 2011), and to water samples (tap, mineral and groundwater) by addition/recovery assays obtaining recoveries between 95 and 106%. This study present for the first time the design of a 3D printing SPE device impregnated with TEVA resin for the on-line extraction of U(VI), showing that 3D printing is a powerful tool for simplifying the construction of complex experimental devices and its operation in analytical procedures for pretreatment applications in water matrices.

Abstract
A very simple approach to fabricate flow-through cells for flow injection spectrophotometry is proposed. Flow cells are completely fused deposition modelling 3D printed by using coloured-transparent polylactic acid filament. Channels with 1.0 mm i.d. circular cross section and optical windows of 0.3-1.0 mm thickness are fabricated. Thin layers of the transparent material allow light transmitting with low attenuation, but coloured cell body can prevent stray light transmitting through. Transparent 3D printing filaments of different colours are compared and Grey-transparent (Grey-T) provides highest sensitivity for the determination of nitrite via Griess reaction. Flow cells of 10-50 mm pathlength have been fabricated by using the Grey-T filament. Effective pathlengths are estimated to be 83.9-96.2% of the physical pathlengths. The printing fabricated cells are used for flow injection analysis of nitrite, and linear correlation (R2 = 0.9991-0.9999) and limits of detection of 0.27, 0.087 and 0.045 μM for 10, 30 and 50 mm cells, are obtained. The 3D printed flow cells have acceptable chemical compatibility and signal stability.

Abstract
Post-curing is essential to improve the mechanical properties of 3D printed parts fabricated by stereolithography (SLA), since right after 3D printing they remain in a "green state". It means that the 3D printed parts have reached their final shape, but the polymerization reaction has not been yet completed. Herein, we take advantage of the tacky partially polymerized surface of "green state" SLA 3D printed parts to immobilize extraction disks and miniature magnets, which after UV post-curing, become permanently attached to the 3D printed part resulting in a rotating-disk sorptive extraction device (RDSE). The developed "stick & cure" procedure is reagent-free and does not require any additional preparation time, specialized skills, or instrumentation. As proof of concept, 3D printed RDSE devices with immobilized chelating disks have been applied to the simultaneous extraction of 14 trace metals prior to ICP-OES determination, featuring LODs between 0.03 and 1.27 μg L-1, and an excellent device-to-device reproducibility (n = 5, RSD = 2.7-8.3%). The developed method was validated using certified wastewater and soil reference samples, and satisfactory spiking recoveries were obtained in the analysis of highly polluted solid waste treatment plant leachates (89-110%). In addition, exploiting the versatility of 3D printing, nine RDSE devices with different shapes were fabricated. Their performance was evaluated and compared for the fast extraction of the highly toxic Cr (VI) as its 1,5-diphenylcarbazide complex in reversed-phase mode, showing different extraction performance on depending on the shape of the 3D printed RDSE device.

Abstract
The recent explosion of 3D printing applications in scientific literature has expanded the speed and effectiveness of analytical technological development. 3D printing allows for manufacture that is simply designed in software and printed in-house with nearly no constraints on geometry, and analytical methodologies can thus be prototyped and optimized with little difficulty. The versatility of methods and materials available allows the analytical chemist or biologist to fine-tune both the structural and functional portions of their apparatus. This flexibility has more recently been extended to optical-based bioanalysis, with higher resolution techniques and new printing materials opening the door for a wider variety of optical components, plasmonic surfaces, optical interfaces, and biomimetic systems that can be made in the laboratory. There have been discussions and reviews of various aspects of 3D printing technologies in analytical chemistry; this Review highlights recent literature and trends in their applications to optical sensing and bioanalysis.

Abstract
Laser-based stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing has been applied to construct a 3D printed device as support for uranium(VI) extraction, using a quaternary ammonium salt in liquid and solid form. As proof of concept, a simple process was carried out to immobilize a selective and commercial resin (TEVA resin), in all the surface area of the non-cured SLA 3D printed device, becoming immobilized after UV photocuring. Besides, a coat of Aliquat®336 covering the surface of the cured SLA 3D printed device was tested. Both 3D printed devices as supported for liquid and solid extractant were characterized. Better results in terms of precision were obtained by using TEVA resin (RSD 2.9%), which was satisfactory optimized, reaching a LOD of 0.03 ng U(VI), and a durability of 10 consecutive extractions, maintaining a recovery of 90% with 5% RSD. The 3D printed device is able to preconcentrate up to a sample volume of 30 mL, without any additional pretreatment. The uranium detection was performed with an ICP-MS. Satisfactorily results were obtained analyzing reference material, e.g. phosphogypsum and water matrices from intercomparison exercises, at a confidence level of 95%.

Abstract
A novel and green deep eutectic solvent based liquid phase microextraction (DES-LPME) methodology has been proposed for the assessment of rhodamine B from cosmetic products and water samples. A deep eutectic solvent (DES) consist of tetrabutyl ammonium chloride-decanoic acid (1:2) as extraction solvent and tetrahydrofuran as emulsification agent were used for the microextraction of rhodamine B. The quantitative recoveries were achieved at pH 3 by using 0.3 mL of DES and 0.3 mL of THF. The rhodamine B concentration in last volume was analyzed by mirco-cuvette UV-VIS spectrophotometer at 550 nm. The limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), preconcentration factor (PF) and relative standard deviation (RSD %) were found as 2.2 μg L-1, 7.3 μg L-1, 25 and 2.3%, respectively. Accuracy and validity of the developed method was verified by addition-recovery studies for water and cosmetic samples.

Abstract
3D printing (3DP), an additive manufacturing (AM) approach allowing for rapid prototyping and decentralized fabrication on-demand, has become a common method for creating parts or whole devices. The wide scope of the AM extends from organized sectors of construction, ornament, medical, and R&D industries to individual explorers attributed to the low cost, high quality printers along with revolutionary tools and polymers. While progress is being made but big manufacturing challenges are still there. Considering the quickly shifting narrative towards miniaturized analytical systems (MAS) we focus on the development/rapid prototyping and manufacturing of MAS with 3DP, and application dependent challenges in engineering designs and choice of the polymeric materials and provide an exhaustive background to the applications of 3DP in biology and chemistry. This will allow readers to perceive the most important features of AM in creating (i) various individual and modular components, and (ii) complete integrated tools.

Abstract
In this work, the dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction technique based on the solidification of the organic phase (DLLME-SFO) has been automated for the first time. DLLME-SFO is automated by hyphenating a sequential injection analysis (SIA) system with a custom-made robotic phase separator. Automated in-syringe DLLME is followed by phase separation in a 3D printed device integrating a Peltier cell set, mounted on a multi-axis robotic arm. The combined action of the flow system and the robotic arm is controlled by a single software package, enabling the solidification/melting and collection of the organic phase for further analyte quantification. As proof-of-concept, automated DLLME-SFO was applied to the extraction of parabens followed by separation using liquid chromatography, obtaining LODs between 0.3 and 1.3 µg L-1 (4 mL of sample extracted in 1 mL of 1-dodecanol: MeOH, 15:85, v-v). The method showed a high reproducibility, obtaining intraday RSDs between 4.6% and 5.8% (n = 6), and interday RSDs between 5.6% and 8.6% (n = 6). The developed method was evaluated for the determination of parabens in water, urine, saliva, and personal care products.
