Abstract:
Online and automated sample extraction is widely used to increase the throughput and improve the quality of LC-MS/MS analysis. In this article, we review the most commonly used online sample extraction methodologies including online SPE, turbulent flow chromatography, online DBS extraction and online immunoaffinity extraction. We also review the offline automated sample extraction platforms, including custom robot scripts for the automation of individual steps during sample extraction, the robot scripts for the automation of individual assays, and the platform for integrated multiple sample extraction. The most recent developments and future trends in this area are also discussed.

Extraction: Advanced Methods
Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...
