“…The dispersion of solid samples is previously done in a mortar, and then the mixture is transferred to the extraction columns (Kadenczki et al, 1992;Kristenson, Ramos, & Brinkman, 2006). In the case of liquid samples, the dispersion of the matrix in the adsorbent can be done directly in the extraction columns (Tadeo & Sánchez, 2003;Albero, Sánchez, & Tadeo, 2003b). MSPD has many advantages over the traditional techniques, such as the use of smaller amounts of organic solvent, lower solvent cost and reduced toxic organic solvent.…”
