“…In general, environmental water samples cannot be analyzed without some Liquid Chromatography 273 preliminary sample preparation due to the compatibility with the desired instrumental method and low concentrations of the analytes in samples. Therefore, several procedures have been developed for the separation and preconcentration of OPPs from water samples, such as liquid-liquid microextraction (LLME) [22][23][24], dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) [25][26][27], SPE [3,28], molecularly imprinted polymer SPE [29], SPME [30,31], cloud point extraction (CPE) [32][33][34], single drop microextraction (SDME) [35][36][37], ultrasoundassisted emulsification microextraction (USAEME) [38][39][40][41]. SPE is a widely used sampling technique for the isolation of selected analytes in environmental, pharmaceutical, clinical, food and industrial chemistry [42,43].…”
