Abstract
In-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME) was developed about 24 years ago as an effective sample preparation technique using an open tubular capillary column as an extraction device. IT-SPME is useful for micro-concentration, automated sample cleanup, and rapid online analysis, and can be used to determine the analytes in complex matrices simple sample processing methods such as direct sample injection or filtration. IT-SPME is usually performed in combination with high-performance liquid chromatography using an online column switching technology, in which the entire process from sample preparation to separation to data analysis is automated using the autosampler. Furthermore, IT-SPME minimizes the use of harmful organic solvents and is simple and labor-saving, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly green analytical technique. Various operating systems and new sorbent materials have been developed to improve its extraction efficiency by, for example, enhancing its sorption capacity and selectivity. In addition, IT-SPME methods have been widely applied in environmental analysis, food analysis and bioanalysis. This review describes the present state of IT-SPME technology and summarizes its current trends and future perspectives, including method development and strategies to improve extraction efficiency.

Abstract
Environmental samples include a wide variety of complex matrices, with low concentrations of analytes and presence of several interferences. Sample preparation is a critical step and the main source of uncertainties in the analysis of environmental samples, and it is usually laborious, high cost, time consuming, and polluting. In this context, there is increasing interest in developing faster, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly sample preparation techniques. Recently, new methods have been developed and optimized in order to miniaturize extraction steps, to reduce solvent consumption or become solventless, and to automate systems. This review attempts to present an overview of the fundamentals, procedure, and application of the most recently developed sample preparation techniques for the extraction, cleanup, and concentration of organic pollutants from environmental samples. These techniques include: solid phase microextraction, on-line solid phase extraction, microextraction by packed sorbent, dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, and QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe).

Abstract
Four simple, specific, accurate and precise spectrophotometric methods were developed and validated for simultaneous determination of Domperidone (DP) and Ranitidine Hydrochloride (RT) in bulk powder and pharmaceutical formulation. The first method was simultaneous ratio subtraction (SRS), the second was ratio subtraction (RS) coupled with zero order spectrophotometry (D(0)), the third was first derivative of the ratio spectra ((1)DD) and the fourth method was mean centering of ratio spectra (MCR). The calibration curve is linear over the concentration range of 0.5-5 and 1-45 μg mL(-1) for DP and RT, respectively. The proposed spectrophotometric methods can analyze both drugs without any prior separation steps. The selectivity of the adopted methods was tested by analyzing synthetic mixtures of the investigated drugs, also in their pharmaceutical formulation. The suggested methods were validated according to International Conference of Harmonization (ICH) guidelines and the results revealed that; they were precise and reproducible. All the obtained results were statistically compared with those of the reported method, where there was no significant difference.

Abstract
During in-tube solid phase microextraction, sample mixing with mobile phase contained in the autosampler tubing during extraction may result in some amount of sample becoming entrained in the mobile phase rather than returning to the sample vial or being directed to waste after extraction. In cases where target analytes have relatively low affinity for the sorbent on the wall of the capillary, mixing can impact data quality. Where the sample contains components that may interfere with either the separation (e.g. proteins) or detection (e.g. ions with MS detection), additional difficulties can arise. In the current research, the magnitude of the sample mixing effect was illustrated by analyzing ranitidine and a series of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The sample volume equivalent of mixing was calculated as 37 μL for ranitidine and 20 μL for PAHs using the same inner diameter of capillary. To address this issue, a novel approach involving adding a switching valve located between the metering pump and the capillary was developed. Capillary flush conditions, draw/eject speed and extraction time were optimized for ranitidine with the result that in the final method, no mixing of sample with mobile phase was apparent in the detected amounts. To provide information on a compound class with intermediate polarity, two -blockers were also extracted using the optimized washing conditions respectively. The results indicated that the issue of sample mixing had been resolved for these as well. Finally, in-tube SPME calibration of these three analyte classes was shown to be highly linear, providing further indication that sample mixing was not impacting data quality. Available literature on the subject was surveyed, and a discussion on the rational selection of conditions to guide method development was also provided.

Abstract
A new configuration of C(18) thin film extraction phase designed for high sample throughput has been developed and applied to the analysis of benzodiazepines in spiked urine samples using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. The high throughput analysis was achieved with the use of a robotic autosampler which enabled parallel analyte extraction in a 96-well plate format. Factors affecting data reproducibility, extraction kinetics, sample throughput, and reliability of the system were investigated and optimized. The intrawell reproducibility was 4.5-7.3%, while interwell reproducibility was 7.0-11% in urine and PBS samples. The limits of detection and quantitation were 0.05-0.15 ng/mL and 0.2-2.0 ng/mL for all analytes, respectively. By comparison with optimized automated multifiber SPME relying on rod geometry, the C(18) thin films showed higher extraction rates (approximate 2-fold increase) and hence higher sample throughput because of the improved configuration and more effective agitation/mass transfer. In addition, this new configuration provided an extraction phase with greater surface area to volume ratio and greater extraction phase volume, which resulted in approximately 2-fold increase in the extraction capacity for diazepam compared with the extractions with automated multifiber SPME rod geometry. The results of this investigation demonstrated the advantages of using thin films to improve extraction kinetics and sensitivity of automated SPME methods for high performance liquid chromatography.

Abstract
The use of the extracting syringe (ESy), a fully automated membrane-based extraction technique, for analysis of phthalate esters in complex aqueous samples has been investigated. The ESy, working as an autosampler that combines the extraction process and injection into the gas chromatograph (GC) in one single step, is placed on top of the GC equipped with a flame ionisation detector. The aqueous samples are loaded in a tray and automatically extracted by employing microporous membrane liquid-liquid extraction principle. After the extraction, the extract is directly injected into the GC's programmable temperature vaporisation injector. Six different phthalate esters were used as model compounds. Four extraction solvents were tested and the addition of sample organic modifier was examined. Toluene was the optimal solvent to use for extraction. Due to the large variation in polarity of phthalate esters, 50% methanol as organic modifier had to be added to the samples so as to extract the most nonpolar phthalate esters; di-2-ethylhexylphthalate and di-n-octylphthalate, whereas the other four relatively polar phthalate esters were extracted from unmodified samples. No significant difference between extraction of river water, leachate water from a landfill and reagent water was noted, except for minor deviations. The extraction time was 20 min for extraction of a 1-mL sample, resulting in a good linearity for all aqueous media investigated, good enrichment factors (54-110 folds) and low LOD values (0.2-10 ng mL(-1)) and relative standard deviation (%R.S.D.; 0.9-3.7%).

Abstract
Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) techniques are equally applicable to both volatile and non-volatile analytes, but the progress in applications to gas-phase separations has outpaced that of liquid-phase separations. The interfacing of SPME to gas chromatographic equipment has been straight-forward, requiring little modification of existing equipment. The requirement of solvent desorption for non-volatile or thermally labile analytes has, however, proven challenging for interfacing SPME with liquid-phase separations. Numerous options to achieve this have been described in the literature over the past decade, with applications in several different areas of analysis. To date, no single strategy or interface device design has proven optimal. During method development analysts must select the most appropriate interfacing technique among the options available. Out of these options three general strategies have emerged: (1) use of a manual injection interface tee; (2) in-tube SPME; and (3) off-line desorption followed by conventional liquid injection. In addition, there has been interest in coupling SPME directly to electrospray ionisation and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation (MALDI) for mass spectrometry. Several examples of each of these strategies are reviewed here, and an overview of their use and application is presented.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A novel method for the determination of Ranitidine in flow injection systems was developed. METHODS Some investigations were also done to find the effects of various parameters on the sensitivity of the method. The conditions producing optimal performance were a pH value of 2, a scan rate value of 100 V/s, accumulation potential of (-100) mV, and accumulation time of 0.4 s. Some of the advantages of the proposed method are as follows: the removal of oxygen from the test solution is not required any more, the detection limit of the method is sub-nanomolar and finally, the method is fast enough for determination of compounds in a wide variety of chromatographic methods. We also introduce a special computer based numerical method, for calculation of the analyte signal and noise reduction. After subtracting the background current from noise, the electrode response was calculated, based on partial and total charge exchanges at the electrode surface. The integration range of currents was set for all the potential scan ranges, including oxidation and reduction of the Au surface electrode, to obtain a sensitive determination. The waveform potential was continuously applied on an Au disk microelectrode (12.5 microm in radius). RESULTS The detection limit of the method for Ranitidine was found to be 25 pg/ml. For 8 runs, the relative standard deviation of the method at 1.1 x 10(-8) M was 2.1%. DISCUSSION The method was successfully applied for fast determination of Ranitidine in its pharmaceutical formulations. Being very simple, precise, accurate, time saving and economical this method has many advantages compared to all previously reported methods.

Abstract
Studies have been performed assessing the feasibility and characterizing the automation of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) on a multi-well plate format. Four polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), naphthalene, fluorene, anthracene and fluoranthene, were chosen as test analytes to demonstrate the technique due to their favorable partition coefficients, K(fw), between polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) extraction phases and water. Four different PDMS configurations were investigated regarding their suitability. These included (i) a PDMS membrane; (ii) a multi-fiber device containing lengths of PDMS-coated flexible wire; (iii) a stainless steel pin covered with silicone hollow fiber membrane and (iv) commercial PDMS-coated flexible metal fiber assemblies. Of these configurations, the stainless steel pin covered with silicone tubing was chosen as a robust alternative. An array of 96 SPME devices that can be placed simultaneously into a 96-well plate was constructed to demonstrate the high-throughput potential when performing multiple microextractions in parallel. Different agitation methods were assessed including magnetic stirring, sonication, and orbital shaking at different speeds. Orbital shaking whilst holding the SPME device in a stationary position provided the optimum agitation conditions for liquid SPME. Once the analytes had been extracted, desorption of the analytes into an appropriate solvent was investigated. Liquid-phase SPME and solvent desorption on the multi-well plate format is shown to be a viable alternative for automated high-throughput SPME analysis compatible with both gas- and liquid-chromatography platforms.

Abstract
A simple and sensitive method for the determination of abietic acid and dehydroabietic acid in food samples was developed using a fully automated method consisting of in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS). These compounds were separated within 5min by HPLC using an ODS-3 column and 5mM ammonium formate/acetonitrile (10/90, v/v). Electrospray ionization conditions in the negative ion mode were optimized for MS detection of abietic acid and dehydroabietic acid. The optimum in-tube SPME conditions were 20draw/eject cycles of 40microL of sample using a Supel Q PLOT capillary column as an extraction device. The extracted compounds were easily desorbed from the capillary by passage of the mobile phase, and no carryover was observed. Using the in-tube SPME LC/MS method, good linearity of the calibration curve (r>0.9998) was obtained in the concentration range from 0 to 50ng/mL, and the detection limits (S/N=3) of abietic acid and dehydroabietic acid were 2.9 and 2.1pg/mL, respectively. The in-tube SPME method showed above 75-fold greater sensitivity than the direct injection method (5microL injection). This method was applied successfully to analysis of food samples without interference peaks. The recoveries of abietic acid and dehydroabietic acid spiked into liquid samples were above 79%, and the relative standard deviations were below 6.6%. These compounds were detected at ng/mL or ng/g levels in various liquid or solid food samples contacted with paper.

Abstract
Based on the chemiluminescence (CL) intensity generated from the potassium ferricyanide [K(3)Fe(CN)(6)]-rhodamine 6G system in sodium hydroxide (NaOH) medium, a new sensitive flow-injection chemiluminescence (FI-CL) method has been developed, validated and applied for the determination of three kinds of H(2)-receptor antagonists: cimetidine (CIMT), ranitidine (RANT) hydrochloride and famotidine (FAMT). Under the optimum conditions, the linear range for the determination was 1.0 x 10(-9)-7.0 x 10(-5) g/ml for CIMT, 1.0 x 10(-9)-5.0 x 10(-5) g/mL for RANT hydrochloride and 5.0 x 10(-9)-7.0 x 10(-5) g/mL for FAMT. During 11 repeated measurements of 1.0 x 10(-6) g/mL sample solutions, the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were all <5%. The detection limit was 8.56 x 10(-10) g/mL for CIMT, 8.69 x 10(-10) g/mL for RANT hydrochloride and 2.35 x 10(-9) g/mL for FAMT (S:N = 3). This method has been successfully implemented for the analysis of H(2)-receptor antagonists in pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
High affinity Histamine H2-receptor binding ligands were assayed by automated solid phase extraction (SPE) coupled via electrospray ionization with a Quadrupole-Time-of-Flight mass spectrometer (Q-ToF-MS). The mass spectrometric behavior of these analytes was tested in aqueous solutions with several (nine) volatile salts, in different pH, and with various methanol contents. Out of the high amount of available ligands, three fluorescent-labeled molecules (5706, 5707, and 5708) were studied in detail. The limits of detection (LODs) for all three compounds obtained in mass spectrometric detection was 1 fmol (absolute) in continuous flow and FIA (flow injection analysis) measurements. The results obtained with FIA-fluorescence detection gave LODs a factor 10-100 times higher. A systematic investigation of sample solving conditions, loading flow conditions, and elution flow conditions made the automated SPE-MS coupling efficient. Ideally, the ligands were dissolved in MeOH-25 mM phosphate buffer (30:70 v/v; pH 11), the SPE loading flow comprised MeOH-25 mM phosphate buffer (30:70 v/v; pH 11) and the SPE elution flow contained MeOH-100 mM ammonium formate solution (90:10 v/v; pH 3). Using this method on a C18-modified silica cartridge (C18, 5 microm, 100 A, 300 microm i.d. x 5 mm, LC Packings) assures high recovery and achieved LODs for all three compounds of 5 fmol (absolute). As an absolute amount of ligands specifically bound on H2-receptors in biochemical experiments is, as will be published elsewhere, between 10 and 100 fmol, the SPE-MS method for the basic compounds can be directly applied for these Histamine H2-receptors.

Abstract
A novel approach to the rapid analysis of pharmaceutical drug formulations using hyphenated ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ToF-MS) that requires no sample pretreatment or chromatographic separation is described. A modified quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer containing an ion mobility drift cell was used for gas-phase electrophoretic separation of ions prior to ToF-MS detection. The generation of sample ions directly from tablets and cream formulations was effected by desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) using a modified electrospray ion source. The analysis of a range of over-the-counter and prescription tablet formulations is described, including histamine H2 receptor antagonist (ranitidine), analgesic (paracetamol), opiate (codeine), and aromatase inhibitor anticancer (anastrozole) drugs. The successful determination of active drugs from soft formulations, such as an antiseptic cream (chlorhexidine) and a nicotine-containing skin patch, is also presented. Limits of detection for the active drugs using the DESI/IMS/ToF-MS method fell within the high-picomole to nanomole range. In all cases, the use of ion mobility drift tube separation showed increased selectivity for active drug responses (present as low as 0.14% w/w) over excipient responses such as poly(ethylene glycol). Tandem mass spectrometric analysis of precursor ions separated by IMS allowed positive confirmation of active drugs with little loss of ion mobility efficiency. The ability to analyze hard or soft pharmaceutical formulations directly by DESI combined with ion mobility spectrometry/mass spectrometry in approximately 2 min demonstrates the potential applicability of this novel method to pharmaceutical screening of low-molecular-weight drug formulations with high selectivity over the formulation vehicle.

Abstract
To investigate the pharmacokinetics of unbound ranitidine in rat blood and bile, multiple microdialysis probes coupled to a liquid chromatographic system were developed. This study design was parallel in the following groups: the control-group of six rats received ranitidine alone (10 and 30 mg/kg, i.v.), the treated-group rats were co-administered with ranitidine and cyclosporine (P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor) or quinidine (both organic cation transport (OCT) and P-gp inhibitors) in six individual rats. Microdialysis probes were inserted into the jugular vein and the bile duct for blood and bile fluids sampling, respectively. Ranitidine in the dialysate was separated by a reversed-phase C18 column (Zorbax, 150 mm x 4.6 mm i.d.; 5 microm) maintained at ambient temperature. Samples were eluted with a mobile phase containing acetonitrile-methanol-tetrahydrofuran-20 mM K2HPO4 (pH 7.0) (24:20:10:946, v/v), and the flow rate of the mobile phase was 1 ml/min. The optimal UV detection for ranitidine was set at wavelength 315 nm. Between 20 and 30 min after drug administration (10 or 30mg/kg), the ranitidine reached the maximum concentration in the bile. The bile-to-blood distribution ratio (AUC(bile)/AUC(blood)) was 9.8 +/- 1.9 and 13.9 +/- 3.8 at the dosages of 10 and 30 mg/kg, respectively. These studies indicate that ranitidine undergoes hepatobiliary excretion which against concentration gradient from bile-to-blood. In addition, the AUC of ranitidine in bile decreased in the treatment of cyclosporine or quinidine, which suggests that the hepatobiliary excretion of ranitidine was partially regulated by P-glycoprotein or organic cation transporter.

Abstract
A simple, rapid and sensitive method for the determination of five estrogens, estrone, 17beta-estradiol, estriol, ethynyl estradiol, and diethylstilbestrol, was developed using a fully automated method consisting of in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). These estrogens were separated within 8 min by HPLC using an XDB-C8 column and 0.01% ammonia/acetonitrile (60/40, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. Electrospray ionization conditions in the negative ion mode were optimized for MS/MS detection of the estrogens. The optimum in-tube SPME conditions were 20 draw/eject cycles of 40 microL of sample using a Supel-Q PLOT capillary column as an extraction device. The extracted compounds were easily desorbed from the capillary by passage of the mobile phase, and no carryover was observed. Using the in-tube SPME LC/MS/MS method, good linearity of the calibration curve (r > or = 0.9996) was obtained in the concentration range from 10 to 200 pg/mL for all compounds examined. The limits of detection (S/N= 3) of the five estrogens examined ranged from 2.7 to 11.7 pg/mL. The in-tube SPME method showed 34-90-fold higher sensitivity than the direct injection method (5 microL injection). This method was applied successfully to the analysis of environmental water samples without any other pretreatment and interference peaks. Several surface water and wastewater samples were collected from the area around Asahi River, and estriol was detected at 35.7 pg/mL in the effluent of a sewage treatment plant. The recoveries of estrogens spiked into river waters were above 86%, except for estriol, and the relative standard deviations were below 0.9-8.8%.

Abstract
Introducing fine polymeric filaments as the extraction medium, a miniaturized sample preparation technique for micro-column liquid chromatography (micro-LC) has been developed along with the investigation of a reproducible preparation scheme of the extraction capillary. The polymeric filaments were packed longitudinally into either a fused-silica capillary or a polyether ether ketone (PEEK) capillary of appropriate dimensions, and the extraction capillary was installed to the injection valve in micro-LC system. The number of packed filaments should be precisely counted before the packing process to make sure the reproducible preparation of the extraction capillary. With conventional stationary phase materials for open-tubular gas chromatography, polymeric coating to the surface of the filaments was also studied in order to further enhance the extraction performance and selectivity. Coated with the polymeric material suitable for the extraction of particular analyte, a dramatic improvement on the extraction power was obtained. The results suggest that the future possibility of novel tailored fibrous extraction medium with an appropriate coating on it, especially for the analysis of complex sample matrices.

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
The widely employed configuration for automated in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) involves modification of a commercial liquid chromatographic autosampler into an automated extraction device. This popular configuration is demonstrated to result in an inherent systematic error in the quantitation of analyte in a given matrix. The source of error is traced to the accumulation of analyte in the extraction and the pre-extraction segment (i.e., sample loop, metering valve and tubing prior to the metering valve) of the autosampler where the analyte comes in contact with the residual mobile phase. This results in cross-contamination due to sample/mobile phase mixing. The quantity of analyte accumulated in these segments is shown to consistently increase with the increasing number of draw/eject cycles. As a result of the accumulation, the amount of analyte recorded leads to inaccurate quantitative information, leading to overestimation of the limit of detection and limit of quantitation, when automated in-tube SPME is employed as an approach for sample enrichment. Insertion of a 100-microl air plug prior to extraction step was able to significantly minimize sample/mobile phase mixing of analyte with the residual mobile phase in the pre-extraction and extraction step, thus minimizing the systematic error.

Abstract
An automated on-line method for the determination of the isoflavones, daidzein and genistein, was developed using in-tube solid-phase microextraction coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography (in-tube SPME-HPLC). In-tube SPME is a new extraction technique for organic compounds in aqueous samples, in which analytes are extracted from the sample directly into an open tubular capillary by repeated draw/eject cycles of sample solution. Daidzein, genistein and their glucosides tested in this study were clearly separated within 8 min by HPLC using an XDB-C8 column with diode array detection. In order to optimize the extraction of these compounds, several in-tube SPME parameters were examined. The glucosides daidzin and genistin were analyzed as aglycones after hydrolysis because the glucosides were not concentrated by in-tube SPME. The optimum extraction conditions for daidzein and genistein were obtained with 20 draw/eject cycles of 40 microl of sample using a Supel-Q porous layer open tubular capillary column. The extracted compounds were easily desorbed from the capillary by mobile phase flow, and carryover was not observed. Using the in-tube SPME-HPLC method, the calibration curves of these compounds were linear in the range 5-200 ng/ml, with a correlation coefficient above 0.9999 (n = 18), and the detection limits (S/N = 3) were 0.4-0.5 ng/ml. This method was successfully applied to the analysis of soybean foods without interference peaks. The recoveries of aglycones and glucosides spiked into food samples were above 97%.

Abstract
A method was developed using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography to monitor the peppermint flavor loss in a taste-masked tablet formulation. This was accomplished by headspace sampling of two major components of peppermint: menthone and menthol. It was found that the excipients from the tablet produced an important matrix effect and that standard addition analysis was necessary for improved accuracy of the determination. The method was shown to be specific and precise. Furthermore, the method produced acceptable results with adequate quantitation limits to determine peppermint flavors in taste-masked tablets. The optimized extraction procedure was successfully used to monitor the stability of peppermint flavor in an oral solid formulation. The accelerated stability studies of the tablet showed that the menthone and menthol was lost in an exponential manner and levels off after several days of heat exposure.

Abstract
The technique of automated headspace solid-phase dynamic extraction (SPDE) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was evaluated for the determination of amphetamines and synthetic designer drugs in hair samples. Headspace SPDE is a novel method for the solventless extraction of organic compounds in aqueous samples. In a so-called inside needle capillary absorption trap a hollow needle with an internal coating of polydimethylsiloxane is used as extraction and preconcentration medium. Sampling is performed on the solution headspace by passing the gas through the device actively by a syringe. Analytes present in the sample are sorbed onto the deposited stationary phase. The syringe needle is placed into the injection port of a GC and rapid heating of the metal needle induces the desorption of analytes. For the determination of amphetamine, methamphetamine, 3,4-methylendioxyamphetamine (MDA), 3,4-methylendioxymethamphetamine, 3,4-methylendioxyethylamphetamine (MDEA), 3,4-methylendioxyphenyl-2-butanamine and N-methyl-1-(3,4-methylendioxyphenyl)-2-butanamine in human hair samples, 10 mg of hair were hydrolysed with sodium hydroxide. After absorption of analytes for an on-coating derivatization procedure the SPDE needle was directly placed into the headspace of a second vial containing N-methyl-bis(trifluoroacetamide). A validation procedure revealed absolute analyte recoveries between 10.2 and 16.7%. Linearity was obtained from 0.1 to 20 ng/mg with coefficients of correlation between 0.992 and 0.999. Intra- and inter-day precision were determined at two different concentrations and resulted in ranges between 1.4 and 4.1% (intra-day) and 4.2-14.6% (inter-day). Limits of detection between 0.03 ng/mg (MDA) and 0.19 ng/mg (MDEA) were achieved. Results indicated that SPDE is a rapid and sensitive method for the analysis of biological samples. Compared to solid-phase microextraction we found a higher extraction rate coupled with a faster automated operation.

Abstract
Sol-gel capillary microextraction (sol-gel CME) is introduced as a viable solventless extraction technique for the preconcentration of trace analytes. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the use of sol-gel-coated capillaries in analytical microextraction. Sol-gel-coated capillaries were employed for the extraction and preconcentration of a wide variety of polar and nonpolar analytes. Two different types of sol-gel coatings were used for extraction: sol-gel poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and sol-gel poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). An in-house-assembled gravity-fed sample dispensing unit was used to perform the extraction. The analysis of the extracted analytes was performed by gas chromatography (GC). The extracted analytes were transferred to the GC column via thermal desorption. For this, the capillary with the extracted analytes was connected to the inlet end of the GC column using a two-way press-fit fused-silica connector housed inside the GC injection port. Desorption of the analytes from the extraction capillary was performed by rapid temperature programming (at 100 degrees C/min) of the GC injection port. The desorbed analytes were transported down the system by the helium flow and further focused at the inlet end of the GC column maintained at 30 degrees C. Sol-gel PDMS capillaries were used for the extraction of nonpolar and moderately polar compounds (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones), while sol-gel PEG capillaries were used for the extraction of polar compounds (alcohols, phenols, amines). The technique is characterized by excellent reproducibility. For both polar and nonpolar analytes, the run-to-run and capillary-to-capillary RSD values for GC peak areas remained under 6% and 4%, respectively. The technique also demonstrated excellent extraction sensitivity. Parts per quadrillion level detection limits were achieved by coupling sol-gel CME with GC-FID. The use of thicker sol-gel coatings and longer capillary segments of larger diameter (or capillaries with sol-gel monolithic beds) should lead to further enhancement of the extraction sensitivity.

Abstract
Miniaturized extraction and separation media have been successfully developed from precisely controlled technologies. In this article, recent developments in these high performance analytical methods, such as miniaturized sample preparation methods and the coupling of these techniques with microscale separation systems, have been reviewed, along with some applications to environmental and biological analysis. The advantage of the miniaturization is not only for the environmental compatibility but also for the developments of the high performance analytical systems. Down-sizing also makes it possible to investigate and introduce various compounds and materials as novel media (such as tailor-made materials and devices) in separation science. As a typical example of the novel miniaturized sample preparation system, the applications of fibrous materials for microcolumn liquid-phase separation methods are described.

Abstract
A liquid chromatographic method for determination of the residues of ranitidine hydrochloride on various surfaces employed in drug manufacture is described. Cotton swabs, moistened with a methanol-water (1:1, v/v) mixture were used to remove any residues of drugs from glass, vinyl, and stainless steel surfaces, and gave recoveries of 85%, 78% and 90%, respectively. Residues were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography on a C18 column at 25 degrees C with methanol-ammonium acetate (40:60 v/v) pH 6.7 as the mobile phase and detection at 320 nm. The method was validated over a concentration range of 20-10 000 ng/ml and had a detection limit of 2 ng/ml.
