“…Derivatization is carried out after the extraction proper, when the target analytes have already been adsorbed on the fiber (thus influencing the desorption and final determination only), or the derivatizing agent is brought to the fiber before extraction, in which case the analytes are converted at the same time as they are extracted. The simultaneous sampling of analytes from the medium and their on-fiber derivatization have been used in the analysis of environmental samples, , food samples, and biological samples, , whereas analyte conversion on the fiber after the actual extraction has been used for the analysis of biphenyls from urine samples, narcotics and steroids from samples of water and biological fluids, , and herbicides from water samples …”
