Advances in Solid-Phase Extraction Disks
for Environmental Chemistry
By E.M. Thurman, and Kirk Snavely
Abstract
The development of solid-phase extraction (SPE) for environmental chemistry has progressed significantly over the last decade to include a number of
new sorbents and new approaches to SPE. One SPE approach in particular, the SPE disk, has greatly reduced or eliminated the use of chlorinated solvents
for the analysis of trace organic compounds. This article discusses the use and applicability of various SPE disks, including micro-sized disks, prior to
gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for the analysis of trace organic compounds in water.
