JOHN M. KOKOSA, retired Professor of Chemistry at Kettering University, Flint, Michigan, conducts research in solvent microextraction, is an industrial consultant, and is an Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at Mott Community College in Flint. He was among the first scientists to explore headspace-solvent microextraction, chaired an invited symposium on solvent microextraction at PittCon 2006, and holds the U.S. patent for the automation of SME sampling. He is the author of numerous refereed publications and presentations and has authored a laboratory manual for freshmen organic chemistry and a commercial FTIR database for Thermo Nicolet instruments.

ANDRZEJ PRZYJAZNY is a Professor of Chemistry at Kettering University, Flint, Michigan. He has an MS and DSc in chemistry from the Gda¿nsk University of Technology (Poland) and a PhD in chemistry from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. Dr. Przyjazny specializes in analytical chemistry of organic environmental pollutants and has published over fifty papers in refereed journals on this subject. He was one of the first scientists to explore headspace-solvent microextraction.

MICHAEL A. JEANNOT worked directly on the original development of drop-based SME at the University of Alberta, and has continued research in this area during his tenure at St. Cloud State University. He has coauthored five SME articles with a theoretical focus for Analytical Chemistry and the Journal of Chromatography A.

ADD SOLVENT MICROEXTRACTION TO YOUR ANALYTICAL TOOLKIT WITH THIS HANDS-ON GUIDE

This timely resource turns solvent microextraction (SME) into a practical analysis tool that analytical chemists will find to be a powerful adjunct to established sample preparation methods.

Whether you're involved in sample preparation and analysis of solid, liquid, or atmospheric environmental, clinical, or industrial samples, Solvent Microextraction: Theory and Practice includes the information you need to integrate this cutting-edge sample preparation technique into your everyday practice, including:

• Insightful comparisons with other popular sampling methods
  
• A theoretical discussion of SME, supported by examples of how theory impacts real samples
  
• An extensive bibliography of nearly 600 application references, updated to 2009
  
• A detailed compilation of experimental parameters and summaries of published procedures to aid in method development
  
• More than a dozen experimental procedures for the most commonly used SME modes, with an emphasis on how to effectively apply the technique
  
• SME modes classification and glossary to facilitate further study and research
  
• A skill-sharpening CD-ROM that contains summaries of nearly 600 publications using SME

Written by the leading experts on SME technology, Solvent Microextraction is a time- and money-saving sourcebook that serves as both a convenient desk reference for the laboratory and an indispensable teaching tool. Most importantly, it goes beyond a compilation of reference material, providing you with a much-needed guide to proper experimental procedures, and a blueprint for understanding how and why the SME technique works.
