Organic samples, extraction with cyclodextrins

Analytes can be separated from the sample matrix (or vice versa) or from other analytes by extraction into a water-immiscible liquid phase. Such extractions are carried out for a number of reasons (removal of, or from interfering species, increasing the analyte concentration, improving the detectability of the analyte). For most organic analytes, extraction takes place without the aid of another reagent, although recently the improved extraction achieved with the aid of micelles or cyclodextrins has been extensively investigated. The main exceptions are the extraction...
