Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) offers integrated sample preparation for analyzing small organic molecules in body fluids. While promising for forensic toxicology and environmental medicine, SPME may not be a universal solution.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biomedical Analysis

Background:

  • Chromatographic methods (GC, LC) are standard for analyzing low molecular mass organic compounds in biological samples.
  • Traditional sample preparation methods include liquid-liquid and solid-phase extraction.
  • There is a continuous need for improved sample throughput and analytical method quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the theory and application of Solid-Phase Microextraction (SPME) in biomedical analysis.
  • To critically review the initial applications of SPME in biomedical contexts.
  • To discuss the optimization, advantages, and limitations of SPME for biological sample analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Solid-Phase Microextraction (SPME) integrates extraction, concentration, derivatization, and chromatographic transfer into a single step.
