“…A general approach in RP-HPLC includes sample treatment, prior to separation, by means of liquid-liquid extraction [8, 20, 27, 33, 34, 40-43, 45, 46, 48, 49], SPE [19,21,22,25,28,29,32,35,36,38,39,44,47,50], solid-phase microextraction [23,24], matrix solid-phase dispersion [26,37], supercritical fluid extraction [16][17][18]30] and polymer monolith microextraction [15,51].…”
