Solid-phase microextraction–gas chromatography–time-of-flight mass spectrometry utilized for the evaluation of the new-generation super elastic fiber assemblies

HS-SPME-GC×GC-qMS volatile metabolite profiling of Chrysolina herbacea frass and Mentha spp. leaves

“…Control over consistency of performance for SPME was obtained by the equilibrium in-fibre internal standardization procedure [14,15] The Internal Standard loading onto the SPME device was as follows: the SPME device was manually inserted into a 20 mL sealed vial containing 2 mL of ultra-pure water to which 2 µL of α-thujone (ISTD) standard working solution at 7.0 µg/mL was added. α-Thujone is known to be absent in mint volatile fraction [ref].…”

Growth of cedar-like Au nanoparticles coating on an etched stainless steel wire and its application for selective solid-phase microextraction

“…Recently more efforts have been made to prepare novel SPME fibers with improved durability and satisfactory extraction capacity using flexible metal wires as supporting substrates. Developed SPME fibers include stainless steel [7][8][9][10][11][12][13], aluminum [14][15][16], zinc [17], copper [18], gold [19,20], platinum [21][22][23][24], silver [4,25,26], titanium [27][28][29] and nitinol alloy [30,31] wires. These metal-based fibers are physically strong and can be handled with great convenience.…”

An improved bonded-polydimethylsiloxane solid-phase microextraction fiber obtained by a sol–gel/silica particle blend

“…doi:10.1016/j.aca.2008.01.025 bending of the needle. A major breakthrough was achieved very recently by Supelco concerning the solution of the problem of fiber breakage, with the utilization of a super elastic NiTi assembly [2].…”
