[The study of carbonaceous adsorbent for solid-phase microextraction and the comparison with commercial device]

The parameters governing solid-phase microextraction have been investigated, and the development of carbonaceous adsorbent for SPME is presented because it is durable and inexpensive. The time profile curves were determined for several organic pesticides having a wide range of water solubilities and the effect of salt was also investigated. The method of SPME-GC-ECD to analyse trace level of the organic pesticide in water is established by the determination of optimum parameters. The comparison with commercial SPME device shows that the carbonaceous adsorbent having been treated with physical or chemical method for SPME can get lower limits of detection than polyacrylate and polydimethylsiloxane, although there are still some work to be done to improve its precision. The results shows that this new SPME device has great application potential.
