A technique that attempts to combine the extraction and SPE into a single step is matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD). In this technique, a nonpolar (such as Cig) SPE sorbent is blended directly into tissue matrix, the mixture is packaged into an SPE cartridge, and the cartridge is eluted like a typical SPE cartridge. The advantage of MSPD is reduced sample size and increased efficiency due to a reduced number of steps. 

Beef kidney samples were analyzed for atrazine by dispersing 0.5-g portions of kidney with 2-g portions of XAD-7 HP resin for matrix solid-phase dispersion. " By using a mortar and pestle, a powder-like mixture was prepared that was subjected to subcritical extraction using ethanol-modified water at 100 °C and 50 atm. The ethanol-water extract was sampled using a CW-DVB SPME fiber for direct analysis using ion-trap GC/MS, and the recoveries were quantitative for atrazine at the 0.2 mg kg fortification level. 

Solid-phase sorbents are also used in a technique known as matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD). MSPD is a patented process first reported in 1989 for conducting the simultaneous disruption and extraction of solid and semi-solid samples. The technique is rapid and requires low volumes (ca. 10 mL) of solvents. One problem that has hindered further progress in pesticide residues analysis is the high ratio of sorbent to sample, typically 0.5-2 g of sorbent per 0.5 g of sample. This limits the sample size and creates problems with representative sub-sampling. It permits complete fractionation of the sample matrix components and also the ability to elute selectively a single compound or class of compounds from the same sample. Excellent reviews of the practical and theoretical aspects of MSPD " and applications in food analysis were presented by Barker.Torres et reported the use of MSPD for the...

The problems relating to increased contamination levels and/or insufficient sensitivity may be overcome by using matrix-solid phase dispersion, MS detection in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode, and/or large volume injection. An example of combined analysis that utilizes specific detection is shown in Fig. 2.6. It entails simultaneous analyses of PAHs, PCBs, chlorobenzene, and organochlorine pesticides in soil.

In the past two decades quite a few new techniques have emerged for the treatment of aqueous samples prior to organic analysis. Perhaps the most important development is that of solid-phase extraction (SPE), which has successfully replaced many off-line steps. This technique can be considered to have introduced a genuine new era in sample handling [1]. The many varieties in which the technique is available and can be applied have made it the key step in handling of aqueous samples. Among the successful varieties are solid-phase microextraction (SPME), matrix solid-phase dispersion, disk extraction and immunosorbent extraction. Several reviews covering these topics have appeared in the literature in the past decade (see e.g. Refs. [2,3] for nonylphenol... 

The chromatographic determination of AEs in the environment has been extensively reviewed [3,4], AEs have been extracted from the aqueous matrix, among others, by solvent sublation [65], LLE [66], SPE with Amberlite XAD-2 [67], cartridges [68-73] (i.e. C1 Ci8, GCB, C8) or Cis disks [74] and matrix solid-phase dispersion for bioconcentration studies in fish samples [75],... 

In matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) the sample is mixed with a suitable powdered solid-phase until a homogeneous dry, free flowing powder is obtained with the sample dispersed over the entire material. A wide variety of solid-phase materials can be used, but for the non-ionic surfactants usually a reversed-phase C18 type of sorbent is applied. The mixture is subsequently (usually dry) packed into a glass column. Next, the analytes of interest are eluted with a suitable solvent or solvent mixture. The competition between reversed-phase hydrophobic chains in the dispersed solid-phase and the solvents results in separation of lipids from analytes. Separation of analytes and interfering substances can also be achieved if polarity differences are present. The MSPD technique has been proven to be successful for a variety of matrices and a wide range of compounds [43], thanks to its sequential extraction matrices analysed include fish tissues [44,45] as well as other diverse materials [46,47].

In another method for the determination of sulfamethazine in muscle and liver tissues (59), the extraction problem was successfully addressed by applying a matrix solid-phase dispersion procedure for rapid and efficient purification of the tissue extracts. Determination was made by ELISA on the basis of antibodies raised against sulfamethazine-diazo-bovine serum albumin conjugates.

In most published methods, the primary sample extracts are subjected to various types of cleanup procedures including conventional liquid-liquid partitioning, solid-phase extraction, matrix solid-phase dispersion, and online trace enrichment. In many cases, some of these procedures are used in combination in order to help obtaining highly purified extracts. 

Matrix solid-phase dispersion techniques have also been suggested for the determination of aminoglycoside residues in bovine tissues (19, 20). The solid-phase material employed in these methods was a cyanopropylsilyl (CN) sorbent. 

Direct elimination of proteins and other matrix constituents from food samples can also be accomplished with matrix solid-phase dispersion or diphasic dialysis membrane techniques. A matrix solid-phase dispersion technique was used for the determination of chloramphenicol in meat (66) and milk (67) using... 

In contrast to the solid-phase extraction approach, only nonpolar Cis-deriva-tized silica has been used as the sorbent in matrix solid-phase dispersion technique. This technique has been successfully applied in the determination of furazolidone in meat (66), milk (181), and swine tissues (180). 

Cleanup and concentration of quinolones from coextracted matrix constituents can also be accomplished with solid-phase extraction columns that contain either nonpolar reversed-phase (Cis) sorbents (177, 197, 198), or polar sorbents such as alumina (189-191, 194), aminopropyl (182, 187), and propylsulfonic acid (188). Reversed-phase Cis material has also been employed as the sorbent in matrix solid-phase dispersion cleanup for the determination of oxolinic acid in catfish muscle (206). 

A matrix solid-phase dispersion technique has been further applied for the determination of oxytetracycline, tetracycline, and chlortetracycline in milk (290, 311), using octadecylsilyl- (Cjg) derivatized silica as the solid phase. To facilitate extraction of the tetracycline antibiotics from milk, addition of an equal ratio of EDTA to oxalic acid has been found advantageous. 

When liquid samples such as serum, plasma, milk, or honey are not to be extracted using direct liquid-liquid partitions with organic solvents but through use of solid-phase extraction or matrix solid-phase dispersion techniques, dilution with water (323, 324), phosphate buffer saline (325), or phosphoric acid (326, 327) is often the only sample preparation procedure applied. Milk analysis sometimes requires further pretreatment for fat removal (328). Centrifugation at about 7000g at 4-10 C for 20 min is the usually applied procedure for making the fat floating on top of milk readily eliminated.
