Abstract: The present invention provides a stationary phase for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) devices based on nickel and titanium alloy nuclei and a metal-organic framework (MOF) exterior, which may be used for chromatographic analysis in environmental, food, etc. applications. The method of preparation of the stationary phases consists of a number of steps which provide a covalent adhesion of the MOF to the nickel/titanium alloy. In these stationary phases, the metal-organic framework is the only component that comes into contact with the sample to be analysed. The interior of the stationary phase is executed in nitinol and endows the system with thermal and mechanical stability, this being the first time that it is used to support a metal-organic framework, and presenting extractive advantages in comparison with commercial SPME stationary phases.
