A new analytical method, combining the hollow fiber membrane, cryofocusing, and thermal desorption technologies, has been developed to allow rapid routine analysis and long-term continuous monitoring of volatile organic compounds in various environmental matrices. This method of membrane extraction with a sorbent interface (MESI) is simple, effective, and solventfree and easy to automate. It minimizes the loss of analytes
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
