Development of highly resistant fibers for use in solid phase micro extraction (SPME). Brazilian Journal of Analytical Chemistry, v. 1, n. 2, p. 115-118, 2010.2179-3433https://repositorio.fei.edu.br/handle/FEI/5005The commercially available fibers for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) made of optical fibers are fragile and can be easily broken. Thus, there is a clear need for the development of efficient, simple and highly resistant SPME fibers. This work describes the preparation of highly resistant fibers in which a polymer is coated onto an open tubular fused silica capillary tubing (0.360 mm O.D.) fitted with a stainless steel wire (0.200 mm O.D.) previously inserted and cemented into the capillary tube opening to guarantee higher mechanical resistance. The fiber was coated with 70-μm poly (dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) and evaluated for the extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.Acesso RestritoArtigoFibersGas chromatographySolid-phase microextraction
