Publication date: Available online 14 November 2018Source: TrAC Trends in Analytical ChemistryAuthor(s): Shuang Hu, Xuan Chen, Run-qin Wang, Li Yang, Xiao-hong BaiAbstractAs a simple, rapid, green, and highly-efficient sample-preparation technique, liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) has been successfully coupled with various instrumental analysis methods and widely applied to determine target analytes (especially trace or ultratrace) from different natural products. In this review, the study is centered on the up-to-date (2017/2018) applications and progresses of various LPMEs, mainly including dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, floating solidification liquid-phase microextraction, hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction and electromembrane extraction in the analysis of the endogenous chemical compositions, such as active, nutritional and toxic components from plants as well as disease marker, hormone, neurotransmitters from animals. Finally, future development and applications of LPMEs in complex sample analysis are prospected.
