Solid-Phase Microextraction II

Dear Colleagues,

Following the great success of the first Special Issue of the international journal Molecules dedicated to solid phase microextraction (SPME), which hosted 15 high-quality articles from colleagues all around the world (URL https://www.mdpi.com/journal/molecules/special_issues/Solid_phase_microextraction), in cooperation with the editors of the journal, we have decided to edit a second Special Issue on the same topic.
Solid phase microextraction (SPME) is a mature and advantageous sample preparation technique with numerous applications in various scientific fields. Due to its versatility, reliability, low cost, and sampling convenience (on-site sampling), SPME has been widely used in combination with separation techniques (LC, GC, CE) in academic research and routine analysis as well. As a result of its impact, it has been introduced in several official methods. On-going research and new trends on SPME cover various aspects, including—but not limited to—the manufacturing of new fiber coating materials, new designs (in-needle, in-tube, in-tube, etc.), incorporation of SPME in automated systems, etc.
This second Special Issue on SPME still aims to cover the latest research trends and applications in this research field. Researchers working on—but not limited to—fiber coating technology, online automated SPME, and their applications in food, environmental, and biomedical sciences are cordially invited to contribute a research or review article.
