Abstract

BACKGROUND: Despite microextraction techniques have gained prominence over traditional extraction ones, they usually involve repetitive and tedious manual procedures. Full or partial automation could help alleviate this drawback. Even though commercial systems are available to automate sample preparation, they are very expensive and not affordable for a high number of laboratories.
