Abstract

The microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS) has excelled in recent years as a versatile and cost effective technique for sample preparation presenting compatibility with the principles of green analytical chemistry; therefore permitting the handling of small sample volumes with high efficiency in the recovery of analytes. Most applications involve the use of MEPS technique either manually or at line coupled to chromatographic systems using automatic injectors (autosampler), which prepare the samples individually and sequentially. These systems present high cost and yet there are no national arrangements for this purpose. This research proposal aims to develop a prototype system to prepare samples offline, based on MEPS. It will allow the simultaneous preparation of a set of samples in an automated, rapid, inexpensive and highly reproducible way. Additionally, taking into account that the miniaturization of liquid chromatography has allowed considerable increase in the sensitivity of the analytical methods and that the association of miniaturized sample preparation, such as MEPS, with miniaturized chromatographic methods have not been widely explored, a second component of the project seeks to link the sample preparation through automated off-line MEPS with online pre-concentration by capillary liquid chromatography (cLC).
