Summary. Stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) is an extraction technique for enrichment of organic compounds from aqueous and gaseous matrices. This technique is based on sorptive extraction, whereby the solutes are extracted into a polymer coating on magnetic stirring rod. SBSE has been used in various types of analytical procedures and wide variety of matrices. However, a limitation of SBSE lies in the fact that only polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-coating material is commercially available and that PDMS predominantly extracts non-polar compounds with K o/w higher than 10. In this survey, a review on non-PDMS stir bar sorptive extraction coatings and their applications to the analysis of environmental, food, and biomedical samples is given.

The applicability of silica gels for the application in solid-phase extraction was tested. Silica was modified with ketoimine groups. Surface characteristics of the modified silica were determined by elemental analysis, NMR spectra of solid phases (29Si CP MAS NMR), analysis of pore size distribution of the silica support, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption. Newly proposed sorbents with ketoimine groups were applied in the preconcentration of trace amounts of the Cu (II) ions from lake water, post-industrial water, and demineralized water unburdened back to the lake.
