Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a powerful analysis technique with advantages such as high separation efficiency with resolution factors above 1.5, low sample consumption of less than 10 µL, cost‐effectiveness, and eco‐friendliness such as reduced solvent use and lower operational costs. However, CE also faces limitations, including limited detection sensitivity for low‐concentration samples and interference from complex biological matrices. Prior to performing CE, it is common to utilize sample preparation procedures such as solid‐phase microextraction (SPME) and liquid‐phase microextraction (LPME) in order to improve the sensitivity and selectivity of the analysis. Recently, there have been advancements in the development of novel materials that have the potential to greatly enhance the performance of SPME and LPME. This review examines various materials and their uses in microextraction when combined with CE. These materials include carbon nanotubes, covalent organic frameworks, metal–organic frameworks, graphene and its derivatives, molecularly imprinted polymers, layered double hydroxides, ionic liquids, and deep eutectic solvents. The utilization of these innovative materials in extraction methods is being examined. Analyte recoveries and detection limits attained for a range of sample matrices are used to assess their effects on extraction selectivity, sensitivity, and efficiency. Exploring new materials for use in sample preparation techniques is important as it enables researchers to address current limitations of CE. The development of novel materials has the potential to greatly enhance extraction selectivity, sensitivity, and efficiency, thereby improving CE performance for complex biological analysis.

Sample preparation maintains a key bottleneck in the whole analytical procedure. Solid‐phase sorbents (SPSs) have garnered increasing attention in sample preparation research due to their crucial roles in achieving high clean‐up and enrichment efficiency in the analysis of trace targets present in complex matrices. Novel nanoscale materials with improved characteristics have garnered considerable interest across different scientific disciplines due to the limited capabilities of traditional bulk‐scale materials. The purpose of this review is to offer a thorough summary of the latest developments and uses of SPSs in preparing samples for chromatographic analysis, focusing on the years 2020–2024. The techniques for preparing SPSs are examined, such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), carbon nanoparticles (CNPs), molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), and metallic nanomaterials (MNs). Examining the pros and cons of different extraction methods, including solid‐phase extraction (SPE), magnetic SPE (MSPE), flow‐based SPE (FBA‐SPE), solid‐phase microextraction (SPME), stir‐bar sorptive extraction (SBSE), and dispersive SPE (DSPE), is the main focus. Furthermore, this article presents the utilization of SPE technology for isolating common contaminants in various environmental, biological, and food specimens. We highlight the persistent challenges in SPSs and anticipate future advancements and applications of novel SPSs.
Emerging organic pollutants s have always been the greatest environmental concern due to their ubiquity and distinguished adverse effects. These are mostly water-bone pollutants flagged as endocrine disruptors and can greatly inconvenience the ecosystem. Among others, β-blockers have also been detected in the environment at various concentrations that threaten the well-being of humans and animals. In this work, NH2-MIL-101(Cr) doped magnetic nanoparticles nanocomposite was successfully synthesised and characterised using analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The Fe3O4@NH2-MIL-101(Cr) was then used as an adsorbent to extract the selected β-blockers in the environmental wastewater. The selected β-blockers were quantified using a high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). Parameters affecting the extraction were screened and optimised using fractional factorial design (FFD) and central composite design (CCD), respectively. Under optimum conditions, the LODs were 0.057 and 0.065 µg L− 1, and LOQs were 0.19 and 0.22 µg L− 1 for acebutolol (ACE) and metoprolol (MET), respectively. The calibration curve exhibited the linearity range of 0.2–1200 µg L− 1 with correlation coefficients of 0.9987 and 0.9968 for ACE and MET, respectively. Repeatability studies demonstrated the %RSD of 0.63 and 0.74% for MET and ACE. At the same time, reproducibility studies displayed the %RSD of 1.057 and 1.178% for MET and ACE, respectively. Spike recovery experiments were carried out to assess the performance of MSPE in real samples, and over 88% of both analytes were recovered. This indicated that the MSPE method could enrich various organic pollutants from different environmental matrices.
