Majors 6 Analytical Supercritical Fluid Extraction Goes Back to the Future Larry T. Taylor Past, present, and future developments of supercritical fuid extraction (SFE) are outlined. New vendor activity in terms of automation and hyphenation with chromatographic separations is discussed. 10 Recent Advances in Pressurized-Fluid Extraction Aaron Kettle Current advances in commercial pressurized-fuid extraction (PFE) instrumentation are discussed, along with the advantages of performing PFE prior to chromatographic analysis. 15 Microwave-Accelerated Extraction — SW-846 Method 3546 and Beyond Bobbie McManus, Michelle Horn, Steve Smith, Bob Lockerman, and Greg LeBlanc Microwave-accelerated extraction (MAE) is described and evaluated. The latest enhancements to this technology are discussed from a hardware and applications perspective. 22 Green Chemistry Perspectives on Analytical Extractions Victor Essel and Douglas E. Raynie This article introduces some of the concepts behind green chemistry, covering solvent selection and extraction techniques. 26 Superheated Water as an Extraction Solvent in Sample Preparation Roger M. Smith The current status of superheated water extraction is reviewed, and the extraction methods, applications, and problems encountered are discussed. 30 Sample Preparation for Chromatography: How Much Can Be Automated? Edward Pfannkoch The author reviews the automation capabilities available, and some practical considerations to take into account when choosing to automate some or all of the sample preparation and handling steps that must be done before analysis. www.chromatographyonline.com 3 magentablackcyanyellow ES431108_LCESUPP0514_003.pgs 04.29.2014 20:18 ADV Published by Editorial Advisory Board Kevin Altria Hans-Gerd Janssen Group Publisher Chief Executive Officer GlaxoSmithKline, Harlow, Essex, UK Van’t Hoff Institute for the Molecular Mike Tessalone Joe Loggia Daniel W.
