Over recent years, there has been an explosive growth of sample preparation techniques. Sample preparation is in most cases meant to be the isolation online or offline concentration of some components of interest or target analytes. Solid phase extraction (SPE) is a very popular technique nowadays in sample preparation. The principal is quite similar with liquid- liquid extraction (LLE) which involves partition of solutes between two phases. But, there are some differences between them and some benefits and limitations of difference types of SPE technique like presented in this paper.

Abstract Due to the extensive use of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) for agricultural purposes and their high persistence and low biodegradability, they have become an important group of contaminants. Detection and quantification of pesticide residues in food, particularly fruits and vegetables, is of growing concern for producers, consumers, and governments. The most widely used pretreatment for the extraction of pesticides in plants is based on solvent extraction liquid-solid extraction (LSE). LSE can be carried out using Soxhlet, shake-flask, homogenization, sonication, and, more recently, microwave-assisted extraction, pressurized liquid extraction, and supercritical fluid extraction. Furthermore, new analytical procedures using the extraction with sorbents, such as solid-phase micro-extraction, stir bar sorptive extraction, and matrix solid-phase dispersion, have also been used. On the other hand, a wide range of cleanup methods (liquid–liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction, gel permeation chromatography, and dispersive solid-phase extraction; and chromatographic techniques with electron capture detector and mass spectrometry detector; and HPLC with a ultraviolet detector are reported in the literature. This article reviews the applicability, advantages, and disadvantages of various sample preparation techniques (traditional and new techniques) for the analysis of OCPs in different plants and plant materials. It covers more than 15 years of published methods in which pesticide residues have been determined in a wide range of vegetation samples (fruits, horticultural samples, medicinal plants, tree leaves, etc.) by the use of chromatographic techniques after various sample preparation steps. A great number of applications in different plant material are provided. To the best of the authors' knowledge, previously published reviews have not covered as wide and exhaustive range of vegetation matrixes as presented here. A summary of pesticide levels cited in the literature is included.

<p>Levetiracetam (LEV), an antiepileptic drug (AED) with favorable pharmacokinetic profile, is increasingly being used in clinical practice, although information on its metabolism and disposition are still being generated. Therefore a simple, robust and fast liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography method is described that could be used for both pharmacokinetic and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) purposes. Moreover, recovery rates of LEV in plasma were compared among LLE, stir bar-sorptive extraction (SBSE), and solid-phase extraction (SPE). Solvent extraction with dichloromethane yielded a plasma residue free from usual interferences such as commonly co-prescribed AEDs, and recoveries around 90% (LLE), 60% (SPE) and 10% (SBSE). Separation was obtained using reverse phase Select B column with ultraviolet detection (235 nm). Mobile phase consisted of methanol:sodium acetate buffer 0.125 M pH 4.4 (20:80, v/v). The method was linear over a range of 2.8-220.0 µg mL<sup>-1</sup>. The intra- and inter-assay precision and accuracy were studied at three concentrations; relative standard deviation was less than 10%. The limit of quantification was 2.8 µg mL<sup>-1</sup>. This robust method was successfully applied to analyze plasma samples from patients with epilepsy and therefore might be used for pharmacokinetic and TDM purposes.</p>
