“…Various sample preparation methods ranging from conventional to advanced extraction methods including liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) [9], solid-phase extraction (SPE) [10], solid phase microextraction [11], quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe [12], and dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) [13] have been used for the extraction and preconcentration of OCPs from various samples. Among these methods, SPE has been one of the most widely sorbent-based methods used for the isolation and concentration of target analytes from various matrices [14,15]. Its advantages over previously used methods, such as LLE, are its simplicity, high analyte preconcentration factors, the reusability of SPE sorbents, and the use of relatively small volumes of organic solvents [16].…”
