Abstract
A new geometry for a versatile microfluidic-chip device based liquid phase micro extraction was developed to enhance the preconcentration in microfluidic chips and to enable double-flow and stopped-flow working modes. The microchip device was combined with a HPLC procedure for the simultaneous determination of two different families as model analytes, which were parabens and Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatories (NSAIDs). The new miniaturized microchip proposed in this work allows not only the possibility of working in double-flow conditions, but also under stagnant conditions (stopped-flow) (SF-μLPME). The sample (pH 1.5) was delivered to the SF-μLPME at 20 μL min-1 while keeping the acceptor phase (pH 11.75) under stagnant conditions for 20 minutes. The highest enrichment factors (between 16 and 47) were obtained under stopped-flow conditions at 20 μL min-1 (sample flow rate) after 20 minutes of extraction whereas the extraction efficiencies were within the range of 27-81% for all compounds. The procedure provided very low detection limits between 0.7 and 8.5 μgL-1 with a sample volume consumption of 400 μL. Parabens and NSAIDs have successfully been extracted from urine samples with excellent clean up and recoveries over 90% for all compounds. In parallel, the new device was also tested under double-flow conditions, obtaining good but lower enrichment factors (between 9 and 20) and higher extraction efficiencies (between 45 and 95) after 7 minutes of extraction, consuming a volume sample of 140 μL. The versatile device offered very high extraction efficiencies and good enrichment factor for double-flow and stopped-flow conditions, respectively. In addition, this new miniaturized SF-μLPME device significantly reduces the costs compared to the existing analytical techniques for sample preparation since this microchip requires few microliters of sample and reagents and it is reusable.
