Solid Phase Microextraction

 

 

Solid phase microextraction uses solid, fused silica fibers coated with a polymeric GC-like stationary phase. The fiber replaces the plunger of a microsyringe. This fiber is dipped into the aqueous solution containing the trace organics to be analyzed. The organics diffuse to and partition into the polymeric coating as a function of their distribution coefficients. Convection speeds up the process. After a predetermined time, the fiber is removed from the solution and placed into the injection port of a gas chromatograph, where the analytes are thermally desorbed. Alternately, the fiber can be placed into the injection port of an HPLC valve, where analytes are displaced by the use of mobile phase or other solvent.
