Recent achievements in solidified floating organic drop microextraction

We give an overview of achievements in solidified floating organic drop microextraction (SFODME). We focus on the types of analyte investigated, the types of sample analyzed, the sample-pre-treatment procedures used, including derivatization and complexation, and we cover the articles available on-line up to 30 November 2014. SFODME has been applied to the determination of organic compounds and inorganic analytes. Although most extraction methods based on SFODME have been applied to water samples, the technique has also been used for analysis of other types of samples. We also briefly discuss the effects of different variables. We discuss the various modalities of SFDOME. Tables summarize the applications, selected experimental conditions and the most important parameters of SFODME. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
