“…The benefits of sample preparation do not only involve sample clean-up, but also preconcentration of the target analytes (Farajzadeh et al, 2016;Vichapong et al, 2016;Moyakao et al, 2018;Kachangoon et al, 2020). Currently, several sample extraction techniques, such as cloud point extraction (CPE) (Kachangoon et al, 2020), liquid-phase microextraction (LLME) Jovanov et al, 2013;Bolzan et al, 2015;Vichapong et al, 2015;Hou et al, 2019;Kachangoon et al, 2020) solid-phase extraction (SPE) (Xie et al, 2011;Shi et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2017;Cao et al, 2018;Moyakao et al, 2018;Xiong et al, 2018;Hou et al, 2019) and solid-phase microextraction (SPME) (Ding et al, 2019;Queiroz et al, 2019;Xue et al, 2019), have been reported for the extraction of the neonicotinoid insecticides in various samples. Among the SPE based methods magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) has gained a lot of attention due to its attractive properties such as simplicity, rapidity, robustness, high enrichment factors, and environmentally friendliness (Deng et al, 2009(Deng et al, , 2019Wang et al, 2018b;Queiroz et al, 2019).…”
