“…Sol-gel CME coatings have been effectively coupled with GC [3,[5][6][7][8][9][10], capillary electrophoresis (CE) [11,12], inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry [13,14], and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Sol-gel coated microextraction capillaries can easily be hyphenated on-line with HPLC [15][16][17][18][19][20][21], without the need to use complex desorption devices which are required to couple fiber SPME to HPLC [22]. The majority of sol-gel coatings are silicabased.…”
