“…16 Though the traditional SPE and MSPE techniques are currently widely adopted and exhibit effective extraction performance, there still are problems to be resolved, such as high solvent consumption, high particle dispersity, and unsatisfactory selectivity. 6,8,17 Further, these methods are usually used in an offline manual way and hardly online coupled with LC for automatic analysis, 6,18 resulting in a number of issues, such as non-automated operation, multiple steps, analyte loss, long-time operation periods, and low efficiency. Improvements that have attached attention including attempts to automate the techniques, since SPE and MSPE processes generally require offline procedures (loading, washing, elution) and do not seem to be particularly able to cope with batch samples.…”
