  • Title: Novel unbreakable solid-phase microextraction fiber by electrodeposition of silica sol-gel on gold.
    Author: Bagheri H, Sistani H, Ayazi Z.
    Journal: J Sep Sci; 2011 Nov; 34(22):3246-52. PubMed ID: 22028302.
    Abstract:
    A new technique for preparation of an unbreakable solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber, using sol-gel technology is developed. Primarily, an ultrathin two-dimensional intermediate film was prepared by hydrolysis of 3-(trimethoxysilyl)-1-propanthiol self-assembled monolayer grafted onto gold, then a stationary phase by electrodeposition of 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylmethacrylate as a precursor, tetramethyl orthosilicate and polyethylene glycol as a coating polymer was produced. The scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the new fiber exhibits a rather porous and homogenous surface. The thermal stability of the fabricated fiber was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. The applicability of the prepared fiber coating in conjunction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was examined by SPME of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, as model analytes, from aquatic media. An extraction time of 20 min at 50 °C gave maximum peak areas when NaCl, 15% was added to the aqueous samples. Limits of detection were in the range of 0.01-0.02 ng/mL and relative standard deviation values were in the range of 4-16% at 1 ng/mL. The developed method was successfully applied for the analysis of real water samples while the relative recovery percentage was in the range of 102-118%.
