Electromembrane extraction technique combined with microvolume UV-Vis spectrophotometric detection was proposed for the preconcentration-determination of mercury in water and fish samples. The optimized conditions for preconcentration step were: the applied potential 70V, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate as the extractant in 1-octanol 2%

An automated bundled hollow fiber array (BHF)-liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) methodology in combination with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) has been developed for the determination of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in environmental aqueous matrices. Eight PFCs were considered, including perfluoroheptanoic acid
