title: Polyethylene glycol-coated solid-phase microextraction fibres for the extraction of polar analytes--a review.
abstract: The article discusses the merits and limitations of commercially available solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fibres and compares them with the new type of extraction coatings, in particular those containing polyethylene glycol as sorbent, as well as the methods of the preparation of the latter. It also analyses their possible application for the extraction of a broad spectrum of analytes, with particular emphasis on the sampling of polar organic compounds from different media.
