Fiber Coatings edit

The coating on the SPME fiber can be selected to improve sensitivity for specific analytes of interest; ideally the sorbent layer will have a high affinity for the target analytes.[1][2] There are many commercially available SPME fiber coatings that are combinations of polydimethylsiloxane, divinylbenzene, Carboxen, polyacrylate, and polyethylene glycol.[3][4] However, one downside to many of the commercially available SPME fibers is that they tend to be physically, brittle due to their composition.[2] Depending on the characteristics of the target analytes, certain properties of the coating improve extraction such as polarity, thickness, and surface area.[1][5] The sample matrix can also influence the fiber coating selection. Based on the sample and analytes of interest, the fiber may need to tolerate direct immersion as opposed to a headspace extraction.[3]
