Abstract

Due to the unique properties, such as their large surface to volume ratio and easy modification, nanomaterials have recently been studied as effective sorbents in the field of separation science. It has proven to be more effective and efficient to use nanoparticles (NPs) as a stationary phase in solid-phase extraction separation. In addition, NPs can be also used as buffer additives in capillary electrophoresis separation. This review highlights recent developments in High throughput separation methodologies employing nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, gold nanoparticles and magnetic NPs etc.
