The development of different kinds of bars for stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) was described in this work. This technique has been applied for the extraction of organic compounds from aqueous matrices due to their sorption on the stir bar. Stir bars are composed of a magneto inserted into a glass tube and coated with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer. SBSE presents many advantages over the conventional extraction techniques such as, solventless sample preparation, simple analytical instrumentation, reuse of stir bars and mainly the higher volume of coating when compared to solid phase microextraction. The bars have been developed with more selective phases, once the unique commercially available bar presents the disadvantage of being coated solely with PDMS polymer. The home-made stir bars were prepared using PDMS modified with different materials, often used in gas chromatography columns. The goal of this modification was to increase coating polarity and to improve efficiency and selectivity of the extraction for polar compounds. The developed bars were applied to the analysis of anticonvulsivant and antidepressant in human plasma and anthelmintic in bovine plasma. In all applications, the home-made bars showed better selectivity when compared to commercial bars. An interface for coupling SBSE to HPLC developed at Laboratory of Chromatography was also evaluated for antidepressant analysis in human plasma. This coupling presented satisfactory results, being desorption more efficient when high temperatures was used. Temperature increases affinity between analytes and desorption solvent.
