ABSTRACT
An explanation of proven methods of chemical analysis, focusing on the myriad applications of solid phase microextraction (SPME) to laboratories performing high-sample throughput, quick sample turnaround time, low detection levels, and dirty sample matrices. It supplies commentary on developments in SPME technology from its inventor, Janusz Pawliszyn.
Solid phase microextraction theory; method development with solid phase microextraction; SPME fibres and selection for specific applications; pharmaceutical applications; environmental applications; applications of SPME for food and flavour analysis; forensic and toxicology applications; new developments in SPME.
