Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) is a versatile and efficient sampling and sample preparation technique that enables the extraction of various analytes, including both volatile and non-volatile compounds, without the need for a solvent. This technique offers a rapid, straightforward, and automated determination of target analytes across a wide range of matrices. Due to its environmentally friendly approach, SPME is gaining popularity as an alternative tool in analytical chemistry to traditional methods. This book, a continuation of the editors previous work, Applications of Solid Phase Microextraction, aims to introduce the reader to groundbreaking methodologies and cutting-edge applications in the field. While it assumes a basic understanding of SPME, an overview of the fundamentals is provided before delving into an update of the field. The reader will gain insights into the basic principles and advantages of different SPME formats, such as stir bar extraction techniques, thin film SPME, Bio-SPME, and emerging trends in various coatings. The book also covers applications in complex media, including food analysis, drug residues, and bioanalysis. By bringing together leading experts in sample preparation from around the world, the editor has compiled an informative and valuable resource for analytical chemists and practitioners utilizing SPME tools in their research.
