Introduction
Dispersive Liquid Liquid Micro Extraction (DLLME) is a technique used toextractanalytesfromaproductmatrixandprovidealevelofenrichmentfortraceanalysistesting.
Adispersiveagentisaddedtothesamplepriortotheadditionofachlorinatedsolvent, either dichloromethane or chloroform. For the work with GSKchloroformwasused.
Thedispersiveagentallows thechlorinated solventonaddition to formanemulsion thus creating a huge surface area for the chlorinated solvent toextracttheanalytesofinterest.Afterthesolutionismixedforaperiodoftime,thesampleiscentrifugedandthebottomlayerisinjectedontotheGC.
Manual DLLME can become time consuming and require large volumes ofsampleandsolvents.Theuseofarobustfullyautomatedmethodallowsananalyst to perform other laboratory tasks and increases throughput withovernightanalysis.
