Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The significance of sample preparation in analytical chemistry cannot be overstated, as it directly impacts the accuracy, sensitivity, and reliability of analytical results. As researchers continually strive for enhanced sensitivity and selectivity in analytical methods, the development of cutting-edge extraction and microextraction techniques has become paramount.
This Special Issue brings together a diverse collection of original research articles and reviews that explore the latest advances in extraction and microextraction methodologies. The articles cover a wide range of sample types, including environmental, biological, pharmaceutical, and food samples. By employing innovative and efficient extraction approaches, researchers are overcoming challenges related to complex matrices, trace analytes, and limited sample volumes.
The featured articles delve into various extraction techniques, such as solid-phase microextraction, liquid-phase microextraction, dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction, and accelerated solvent extraction, among others. The application of these techniques in tandem with modern analytical instruments, including mass spectrometers, chromatographs, and spectroscopy systems, has revolutionized the field of sample preparation.
We hope that this issue serves as an insightful resource, inspiring further advancements in sample preparation methodologies and fostering new ideas for analytical research.
