Ionic Liquid-Based Single-Drop Microextraction of Chlorobenzenes
A research group from the University of Valencia (Valencia, Spain) and the University of Alicante (Alicante, Spain) used ionic liquid?based single-drop microextraction followed by gas chromatography (GC) to analyze chlorobenzenes in real water samples.
A research group from the University of Valencia (Valencia, Spain) and the University of Alicante (Alicante, Spain) used ionic liquid–based single-drop microextraction followed by gas chromatography (GC) to analyze chlorobenzenes in real water samples. The method involves thermal desorption of the analytes from the ionic liquid droplet to the GC system using a commercially available thermodesorption system. They determined 10 chlorobenzenes in water samples, with RSDs of 2–17% and limits of detection of 1–4 ng/L.

RAFA 2024 Highlights: Contemporary Food Contamination Analysis Using Chromatography
November 18th 2024A series of lectures focusing on emerging analytical techniques used to analyse food contamination took place on Wednesday 6 November 2024 at RAFA 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic. The session included new approaches for analysing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), polychlorinated alkanes (PCAS), Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (MOH), and short- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs and MCCPs).
