Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to inform you that a new Separations Special Issue has been launched, titled “Recent Advances in Green Sample Preparation Techniques”.
Analytical tools presently applied enable rapid and throughput diagnosis, simultaneously with reduced use of organic solvent, utilization of natural sorptive materials or promotion of the production of reusable extraction devices. Most recently, a new frontier in analytical chemistry is so-called green analytical chemistry, emphasizing aspects such as reduction in organic solvent consumption, reduction in laboratory waste production, designs enabling biodegradation, and the use of materials originating from sustainable sources. Considering the above, do nevertheless keep in mind that the quality of sample preparation should not be sacrificed.
The scientific goal of this Special Issue is to improve the green metrics of sample preparation techniques suitable for environmental, food, and bioanalytical applications. I encourage and acknowledge all research groups working in the area of green chemistry, especially in the field of analytical chemistry, to contribute to this Special Issue of Separations. I strongly believe that your contribution to this Special Issue will have a significant influence on the scientific research community and provide environmentally friendly ideas and solutions to inspire readers in their everyday work and also, if possible, to implement greener sample preparation protocols and techniques.
Research articles, review articles, as well as short communications are invited.
Dr. Krzysztof Goryński

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Separations is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
