Abstract

Sample preparation is essential for isolating desired components from complex matrices and greatly influences their reliable and accurate analysis. Microextraction techniques such as solid phase micro extraction and liquid–liquid–liquid micro extraction based on hollow fiber and also single drop micro extraction methods are new and effective sample preparation techniques. Crown ethers are heterocyclic chemical compounds that consist of a ring containing several ether groups. Recently crown ethers have been applied in these methods and increase efficiency and selectivity of these techniques. Here we review the application of crown ethers in various micro extraction techniques.
