Abstract

In this review the focus is on application of porous monoliths to miniaturized extraction of biological analysis, with emphasis on porous monolithic materials and different miniaturized extraction formats. The general approaches used to synthesize organic polymer and silica monolithic materials are highlighted, and their properties and applicability are described and compared. Several extraction formats, including in-tube microextraction, chip-based microextraction, tip-based microextraction, among others, are reviewed in depth.

A visual model of the miniaturized extraction based on porous monoliths
