It has rapidly evolved and gained increasing interest. In SBME the fiber can beleft freely tumbling in the sample during extraction. Consequently, the procedure is simplified, portability of the micro-extraction system is improved and mass transfer from the sample to the fiber lumen isenhanced, reducing extraction times and allowing the simultaneous extraction of several samples.We present an overview on the evolution and applications of SBME for sample preparation. It has beenapplied in the analysis of polar and non-polar organic compounds in water, slurry, food, and biologicalsamples. In the case of inorganic analysis, main applications have been directed to their determinationand speciation in plants and marine water samples.In conclusion, SBME is a simple, accurate and affordable methodology for sample preparation inenvironmental, medical and food analytical chemistry PB Elsevier SN 1879-3142 YR 2019 FD 2019 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10498/30361 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10498/30361 LA eng DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Cádiz RD 12-nov-2026
