What is SPME?

Solid phase microextraction, or SPME, is a fast and versatile sample preparation technique that reduces sample handling and solvent consumption. It can be used for headspace and immersion sampling while producing very clean extracts.
In this Restek Tip, we explore the basics of SPME. What is it? How does it work? And what are its advantages?

Can it be used for VOCs?

[@RestekCorp]

Thank you for the question. Yes, SPME devices work well for sampling VOCs. For example, sampling headspace (HS) VOCs from a liquid or solid matrix is a popular SPME application.
