In this study, a sodium alginate-g-polyacrylic acid/agarose hydrogel was synthesized and, for the first time, applied as a membrane in gel electromembrane extraction (G-EME) for the isolation of morphine, a basic analyte, from urine samples. The extracted morphine was subsequently quantified using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) with a glassy carbon electrode. The hydrogel membrane (5 mm thick) was prepared using 0.75 % (w/v) sodium alginate, 3.80 % (v/v) acrylic acid, 0.04 % (w/v) ammonium persulfate, and 1.25 % (w/v) agarose. The extraction process was optimized by evaluating factors such as membrane composition, extraction time, applied voltage, and pHs of the sample solution, membrane, and acceptor phase (AP). Under optimal conditions (25 min extraction time, 70 V applied voltage, membrane pH 4.0, AP pH 3.0, and sample solution pH 7.0) morphine was efficiently extracted through the hydrogel membrane and transferred to an aqueous AP. The collected AP was mixed with 0.15 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) and analyzed voltammetrically. The method achieved a limit of detection of 0.09 μg/mL and a limit of quantification of 0.28 μg/mL, and was successfully applied for morphine determination in urine sample. The polyacrylic acid-based membrane enhanced extraction efficiency through electrostatic interactions, while the use of DPV offered clearer signal interpretation and reduced background current, facilitating reliable detection of trace analytes. These advantages support the method’s potential for simple, selective, and environmentally friendly analysis of basic drugs in biological samples.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100052,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Sample Preparation","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 100204"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144780679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The application of sludge as a soil amendment and the reuse of treated wastewater in agriculture have been further proven to contribute to the introduction of MPs into terrestrial ecosystems. MPs present a capacity to accumulate in plants together with co-contaminants such as heavy metals and pharmaceuticals, posing additional risks to food safety and soil quality. This review underscores the need to align analytical practices with sustainability by adopting environmentally friendly methods. A critical discussion is presented on the analysis of MPs, encompassing an in-depth examination of analytical methodologies, challenges in sample preparation, and potential solutions. Techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman Spectroscopy, and Pyrolysis-GC–MS (Py-GC–MS) are highlighted for their effectiveness in MP identification, combined with treatment approaches like density separation, enzymatic digestion, and oxidation. MPs appear in various forms, including synthetic fibers, microbeads, and fragmented particles, with their distribution being influenced by polymer types. Low-density polymers like polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) tend to remain in the water phase, whereas high-density polymers such as polyester (PES/PEST) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) accumulate in solid matrices like sludge and sediments. Inconsistencies in measurement units are a significant issue in microplastic analysis. Concentrations are typically reported as items per liter (for water) or items per kilogram (for soil), However, mass-based units such as µg/L are rarely employed, complicating data comparison. Another essential component is the determination of MP size, which is largely dependent on analytical equipment detection limits and resolution. Most studies focus on MPs ranging from 20–50 µm to a few millimeters, with limited research addressing MPs smaller than 0.1 µm, known as nanoplastics (NPs).
