Abstract

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) has long been investigated as an approach to extracting selected components from bulk samples (e.g. the classic extraction of caffeine from coffee) for a process engineering tool. In contrast, the application of SFE for the preparation of samples in the analytical laboratory has been receiving serious attention for only a few years. While process-scale SFE has generally been concerned with separating high concentration components from large quantities of a bulk matrix to increase their commercial value (or, e.g. to remove objectionable components as in the application of SFE to clean up contaminated soils), analytical-scale SFE is concerned with extracting analytes of interest from a bulk matrix as a sample preparation step prior to their determination by other analytical methods including (but not limited to) chromatographic, spectrometric, radiochemical and gravimetric techniques.
