Abstract
Single-drop microextraction (SDME) and large-volume sample stacking using an electroosmotic flow pump (LVSEP) were coupled with capillary electrophoresis/mass spectrometry (CE/MS) for sample cleanup and preconcentration. Without filtration or centrifugation of a soil sample containing debris, SDME using a pentanol acceptor drop was directly applied to the sample. After SDME, a large volume of the enriched pentanol extract was injected and further concentrated by LVSEP. For the drop formation in SDME and the sample matrix removal in LVSEP, a run buffer vial was temporarily placed to the electrospray tip, without any physical modification of the CE/MS interface. This method enabled the double preconcentration by SDME and LVSEP, achieving 600~1300-fold enrichments of anionic analytes including pesticide and herbicide compounds to provide limits of detection in the range of 0.4~0.8ppb in soil.
