General description
Solid phase microextraction (SPME) is a recently proposed solvent-free sampling and sample preparation technique. SPME represents a quick, sensitive, and economical approach that can be adopted for field work and can be easily integrated with present analytical instrumentation into an automation process. Written by the inventor of the technique, this book describes the theoretical and practical aspects of this new technology. This book offers the reader the following:
• An overview of SPME technique, theory, method development, and applications
• Experiments for beginners
• A summary of the practical applications of SPME in environmental, food, and pharmaceutical, and forensic settings
• Material suitable for SPME courses or self-guided study
