Solid phase microextraction was coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) to screen for sixteen nitrogen-containing compounds, including herbicides, in water samples. The effects of stirring, extraction time, pH, salt concentration and the choice of fiber coating material were evaluated. The repeatability was in the range of 0.72 -18.2 (CV % at 200 ng-L -1) and the reproducibih~, in the range of 5.4 -34 (at 500 ng. L-l).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
