C. Gonzalez-barreiro et al., Optimisation of alachlor solid-phase microextraction from water samples using experimental design, J CHROMAT A, 896(1-2), 2000, pp. 373-379
We have tested screening and response surface experimental designs to optim
ise the solid-phase microextraction (SPME) of the widely used herbicide ala
chlor. Extraction time and sample volume were the only statistically signif
icant factors from those studied. In the final optimised conditions the pro
cedure was applied to the SPME-HPLC analysis of alachlor in spiked water sa
mples with excellent figures of merit. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All r
