Ail improved liquid-liqllid-liquid microextraction (LLLME) technique has been put forward based on the principle of single drop LLLME. In the technique, a vial insert was firstly utilized as acceptor phase container. Because the diameter of the bottom of the vial insert was small, the contact area between the acceptor phase and the vial insert was bigger than that between microsyringe and microdrop of acceptor phase in single drop LLLME, and the stability of microdrop, was increased markedly. More acceptor phase could be held in the improved method than that in single drop LLLME, and the sensi...
