In this study, solid-phase microextraction (SPME) technique using GC/FID was studied as a possible alternative to liquid-liquid extraction for the analysis of EGBE, DGBE, DBM and TGME in water, and an optimization condition of trace analysis of EGBE, DGBE, DBM and TGME using the factorial design was described. Experiments used a fractional factorial design method followed by central composite design allowing optimization of a number of factors as well as statical analysis of results. The response surface analysis showed that the extraction efficiency can be described by a second-order polynomial equation in which the salts concentration, extraction temperature, extraction time and sonication time are the major influences. Using DOE, a new data-dependent method was developed that improved the quantity of confidently analyzed EGBE, DGBE, DBM and TGME in water samples.

A general method to formulate the tissue-equivalent liquids for SAR measurement is proposed to make sucrose-free brain tissue applicable at 835 MHz as an example We suggest the tissue composition can be determined by measuring the dielectric constants and conductivities with the DI water and salt addition variation to the pre-manufactured auxiliary liquid of DGBE and TritonX-100 The manufactured liquid satisfies the specified electrical parameters of international standard at 835 MHz.
