description

Abstract Greening extraction techniques to improve the sensitivity and the selectivity of analytical methods is the sustainable alternative to classical sample-preparation procedures used in the past. In this update, we review the main strategies employed in the scientific literature to reduce deleterious side-effects of extraction techniques. We demonstrate that the evolution of sample-treatment procedures is focused on the simultaneous improvement of the main analytical features of the method and its practical aspects, including the economic case.
