| Abstract: | "The detection of chemicals is a fundamental issue of modern civilisation, however existing methods do not always achieve the desired sensitivity. Preconcentrators, which are devices that allow increasing the concentration of the intended analyte via e.g., adsorption/desorption, are one of the solutions for increasing the sensitivity of chemical detection. The increased detection sensitivity granted by preconcentration can be used to miniaturise detection instruments, granting them portability. The primary goal of this review is to report on and briefly explain the most relevant recent developments related to the design and applications of preconcentrators. The key design elements of preconcentrators and the emerging area of liquid-phase preconcentrators are briefly discussed, with the most significant applications of these devices being highlighted" |
