Virtual special issue of Trends in Analytical Chemistry devoted to “Microextraction”…

Microextraction has been a hot topic in analytical chemistry for long time, and still there is strong activity. Thus, in 2018 and 2019 approximately 1500 research papers were published each year on the topic. Major justifications for development and implementation of microextraction are elimination of organic solvent (green chemistry & sustainability), high enrichment, improved sensitivity and selectivity, and compatibility with small sample volumes and modern instrumentation. Next generation analytical chemists will use microextraction techniques and methods, and therefore we devoted a special issue of Trends in Analytical Chemistry to this subject. We authored the foreword and two of the review papers...
