Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a pleasure to announce the next Separations Special Issue entitled “Deep Eutectic Solvents Used in Microextraction Techniques”, which will compile a collection of state-of-the-art deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in the field of miniaturized extraction procedures.
The new trends in analytical chemistry, and in particular, in extraction procedures, are directed towards more sustainable methodologies whose repercussions for the environment are eliminated or minimized. In this sense, the development of alternative solvents, such as DESs or natural DESs (NADESs), has had a positive impact on analytical chemistry applications. Due to their unique characteristics and physicochemical properties, these solvents have been postulated as a good option to displace the conventional solvents used in extraction techniques.
This Special Issue aims to present the most recent applications of DESs and NADESs in microextraction techniques and provide an updated and critical overview of recent advances and future trends in sample preparation. Research involving combinations of DESs with other (nano)materials is also welcome.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
