Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sample preparation is a crucial part of the analytical process and should be part of any analytical chemistry teaching curriculum. Over the last two decades, active research on sample preparation has been fueled by interest in the elimination of organic solvent from environmental analysis and the rapid analysis of biological samples. This new development results in the miniaturization of the extraction process, leading to new micro-configurations and solvent-free approaches. The fundamental understanding of extraction principles has advanced in parallel with the development of new technology. Recently, new sorbents such as silica, carbon-based, polymeric and metal organic frameworks have been introduced, increasing the performance of all sorbent-based sample preparation techniques. Furthermore, technological developments have made it possible to obtain these new nanomaterials (NMs) which immediately showed themselves to be promising in the field of separations. The challenge in this Special Issue is to apply micro-extraction techniques to molecules of bio-pharmaceutical interest from various matrices and their quantification using chromatographic techniques coupled with sensitive detectors.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Separations is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
