Abstract
Deep eutectic solvent was used as extraction solvent to develop and optimize a new sample preparation method for the determination of metribuzin in urine samples. In order to determine the optimal values of the effective factors in the deep eutectic solvent-based ultrasound assisted emulsification microextraction method, six effective parameters were selected. The design of experiments was performed using the onevariable- at-a-time method. Totally, 96 experimental runs were performed, and the samples were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography with a UV detector. Under the optimum conditions, the calibration curve for metribuzin was linear in the concentration range of 5 to 500 μg L-1 for urine samples. The accuracy and reproducibility of the introduced method were determined using the relative recovery (RR %) and relative standard deviation (RSD %) tests on the fortified urine samples. RR % and RSD % were found to be 96.3 – 101.7 % and 3.2 – 7.6 %, respectively. The limit of quantification and the limit of detection were obtained 5 and 0.8 μg L-1, respectively.
