What is SPME fiber?

Solid phase microextraction (SPME) is an innovative and sensitive solvent-free sample preparation technology. Based on the principle of adsorption/absorption and desorption, SPME uses a coated fiber to concentrate volatile and semi-volatile compounds from a sample.

How do you condition SPME fiber?

Insert the SPME needle into the GC injection port, expose the fiber, and condition for the recommended time. Longer than recommended conditioning times will not hurt the fiber. After conditioning is completed, retract the fiber and remove the needle from the injection port.

What is PDMS fiber?

A biosensor that uses polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) dye-doped optical fibers is more thermally and environmentally stable than when using hydrogel fibers. The PDMS fibers have a measured strain precision of <1% and optical loss of <0.25 dB/cm over a 450-850 nm wavelength range.

What does SPME mean?

Solid phase microextraction, or SPME, is a solid phase extraction sampling technique that involves the use of a fiber coated with an extracting phase, that can be a liquid (polymer) or a solid (sorbent), which extracts different kinds of analytes (including both volatile and non-volatile) from different kinds of media.

What is headspace SPME?

Headspace-SPME, in which a coated fused silica fiber is used to trap and concentrate analytes from a static or dynamic headspace process, was developed in 1993 and has experienced the strongest growth in research interest over the past decade.

What is SPME fiber size?

10 mm
All PAL SPME Fibers have a standard length of 10 mm, gauge 23 and the core material is fused silica. They can be used for a wide range of GC injector models.

How long is Fibre exposed in desorbed mode?

60 sec to 10 min
We are starting to use SPME fibres to collect volatiles from plants and other samples, and several protocols mention the fibres should be desorbed from 60 sec to 10 min (depending on the sample and type of fibre), and the purge valve should open after two minutes.

Who invented SPME?

Prof. Janusz Pawliszyn
Solid phase microextraction (SPME) is one of several important sample preparation techniques. SPME, invented in early nineties by Prof. Janusz Pawliszyn from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, integrates sampling, extraction, concentration and sample introduction into a single step.

What is HS SPME method?

SPME is a solvent free method that integrates sampling, extraction, and concentration of analytes. Compared to solvent extraction, SPME is a non-exhaustive extraction technique, where only a small proportion of the target analyte is extracted from the sample matrix [36].

What is HS SPME?

Headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) is a rapid, solvent-free, and simple method for volatile analysis and has been widely applied to many types of foods including fruit juices (Foley et al., 2002), fermented foods (Lee et al., 2003, Lee et al., 2003), and dairy products (Kim et al., 2003, Lee et al., 2003).

What is HS SPME GC-MS?

Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is widely employed for volatile analyses of plants, including mapping populations used in plant breeding research.

What are SPME fibers and how are they used?

Agilent offers SPME fibers in a range of chemistries, formats, and for use with autosamplers or manual injections. SPME fibers can be used multiple times as long as they are treated with the proper care and caution. Each fiber has a color-coded or notched hub, indicating the type of coating on the fiber.

What is the use of SPME analysis?

It is used for extracting organics from a matrix (solid, liquid, or gaseous) into or onto a stationary phase immobilized on a fiber. In SPME, analytes establish equilibria among the sample matrix, the headspace above the sample, and a polymer-coated fused fiber. Two types of extraction:
