Solid-phase microextraction versus single-drop microextraction for the analysis of nitroaromatic explosives in water samplesSolid-phase microextraction versus single-drop microextraction for the analysis of nitroaromatic explosives in water samples Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-09-242001enThis paper compares solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with a recently developed extraction method called single-drop microextraction (SDME) for the analysis of nitroaromatic explosives in water samples. The two techniques are examined in terms of procedure, chromatographic analysis and method performance. All practical considerations for both techniques are also reviewed. SPME requires dedicated apparatus and is relatively expensive, as the fiber’s lifetime is limited. However, it has the advantages over SDME that it can be easily used for headspace analysis and has lower detection limits for all the target analytes. SDME requires more elaborate manual operations, thus affecting linearity and precision.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Journal of Chromatography A9381-2113-120 Psyllaki_J. Chrom.
