solid-phase microextraction and determination of tin species in beverages and food samples by using poly (ε-caprolactone-b-4-vinyl benzyl-g-dimethyl amino ethyl methacrylate) polymer in syringe system: a multivariate study

A new solid-phase microextraction (spμe) procedure has been developed for separation and preconcentration of sn ions by using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (gfaas). this technique is based on the complexation of sn(iv) ions with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (pan). the poly (ε-caprolactone-b-4-vinyl benzyl-g-dimethyl amino ethyl methacrylate) polymer (pcl vacr) was used as an adsorbent, and it was loaded in micropipette tip of syringe system. sn(iv) ions were adsorbed on polymer at ph 6. different experimental conditions were optimized such as ph, amount of complexing agent, and amount of adsorbent. the detection limit (lod), limit of quantification, preconcentration factor (pf), and relative standard deviation (rsd) were found as 4.5 ng l−1, 13.5 ng l−1, 100, and 3.3%, respectively. certified reference materials were used to confirm the accuracy of the investigated procedure, and the procedure was successfully practiced for determination of entire concentration of tin within beverages and different food samples.
