Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sample preparation is still recognized as the bottleneck of many analytical methodologies since it affects the sensitivity, selectivity, reliability, as well as environmental sustainability of the developed methods. Modern sample treatments take advantage of advances in material science and other branches of Chemistry to make extraction procedures increasingly efficient and adherent to the Green Chemistry principles. In particular, the evolution of sample preparation is following six general trends, namely: miniaturization, simplification, automation, expeditiousness, and economical and safety aspects. A literature survey clearly demonstrates the growing interest in new microextraction techniques, including liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) and solid-phase microextraction (SPME). This Special Issue focuses attention on the latter one, whose recent evolution is based on the development of new devices and extraction modes, and, most importantly, the synthesis of new environmentally friendly sorbent materials, combining different fields of Chemistry and Engineering. Moreover, the replacement of traditional organic solvents with new sustainable ones, such as deep eutectic solvents, ionic liquids, supercritical fluids, etc., represents a further improvement of current SPME approaches.
We warmly invite you to submit original contributions (as research manuscripts, short communications, or reviews) to this Special Issue, in order to promote sustainable development of Analytical Chemistry.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
