Selected experimental parameters were studied, and the optimized extraction conditions were as follows: 20 mg of the sorbent, sample pH 6, adsorption time - 12 min, addition of 1 g NaCl and 4.5 mL of acetone as the desorbing solvent. At the optimized conditions the developed extraction method was compared with magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE). Extractions were performed in four replicates at three concentration levels of the pesticides. The average extraction yields of all the pesticides for the SBSDμE and MSPE methods were 20–75% (RSD 1–12%) and 22–82% (RSD 2–13%), respectively. Compared with the MSPE method the proposed SBSDμE approach is more quick and convenient in collecting of the sorbent, as well as more effective in mixing of larger volume samples.
