“…However, due to high consumption of organic solvents and their toxicity, other techniques have been developed, such as solid-phase extraction (SPE), with lower consumption of organic/toxic solvents and which is easier to automate when compared to LLE. [3][4][5] SPE is a technique that consists essentially of using a solid phase as a sorbent for extraction of one or more analytes, making use of relatively high volumes of the sample in the sorption step and low volumes of an appropriate solvent or mixture of solvents during desorption, 6 to decrease the limits of quantication (LOQ). All steps in a SPE procedure are very important, since mistakes may result, e.g., in the loss of analytes, compromising the analytical protocol.…”
