Cover Story: Through the development of solid phase microextraction (SPME) technologies, thin-film solid-phase microextraction (TF-SPME) has been repeatedly validated as a novel sampling device well suited for various applications, encompassing a wide range of sampling methods such as onsite, in vivo and routine analysis. TF-SPME, having both an increased extraction phase volume and surface area to volume ratio, allows high extraction rates and enhanced capacity, making it an ideal sampling tool for ultra-trace analysis. This review provides a comprehensive discussion on the current progress of TF-SPME development and its future, with emphasis on its applications to environmental, food and fragrance analysis.
