Abstract

In this work, cellulose cone tips were used as a hydrophilic sorbent supporting an aqueous electrolyte solution in a four-phase electric field-assisted extraction. The wetted tips were immersed in an immiscible organic phase, acting as a filter to extract analytes present in an aqueous sample. Simultaneous four-phase extractions were carried out under the influence of an electric field using a 66-well plate constructed with inexpensive and readily available laboratory materials. Several parameters that control the electric resistivity of the system were evaluated, and the application of electric potential difference. In a final application, a cationic dye and its metabolite, crystal and leuco crystal violet, were extracted from cone tips provided reproducible and stable electric current during spiked fish extracts and quantified by a digital image analysis method. The method presented a linear range of 2-100 ng mL(-1) (r > 0.999), limit of detection of 1.37 ng mL(-1), inter- (3 consecutive days) and intraday precision determined for 4 concentration levels (n = 6, each) were lower than 29% and mean recoveries for these concentrations ranging from 95% to 115%. The results demonstrated that the 66-well plate provides a stable, reproducible, and simple way to conduct extractions of ionic compounds from complex aqueous matrixes. The effectiveness of the low-cost cellulose cone tips used as a solid fourth phase also confirmed that it can easily overcome many drawbacks of similar liquid-liquid-liquid approaches. (AU)
