Solid-Phase Microextractions Coupled with Gas or Liquid Chromatography

6 SOLID-PHASE MICROEXTRACTION COUPLED WITH GAS OR LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY 

Although solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has only been introduced comparatively recently (134), it has already generated much interest and popularity. SPME is based on the equilibrium between an aqueous sample and a stationary phase coated on a fibre that is mounted in a syringe-like protective holder. Eor extraction, the fibre 

In a recent report, HS-SPME was used for the extraction of amphetamines from human hair (142). Human hair analysis is gaining interest in the analysis of drugs of abuse, since it offers attractive features easy and unlimited sampling, and as the
