An automated methodology for magnetic dispersive solid phase microextraction integrating bead injection approach for renewable sorbent introduction is presented for the first time and was successfully applied to the enrichment of water contaminants. For this purpose, a simple procedure was developed for the functionalization of commercial SupelTM-Select HLB (Hydrophilic modified styrene polymer) sorbent beads that allowed embedding magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4). The sorbent was then used in a dispersive solid phase extraction procedure that was carried out entirely inside the void of an automatic syringe pump following the flow-batch concept of Lab-In-Syringe including automated renewal of the sorbent for each analysis. Mixing processes, sorbent dispersion, and sorbent recovery were enabled by using a strong magnetic stirring bar, fabricated from a 3D printed polypropylene casing and neodymium magnets, inside the syringe. The final extract was submitted to online coupled liquid chromatography with spectrometric detection. System and methodology were applied to determine mebendazole, bisphenol A, benzyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, diclofenac, and triclosan selected as models from different groups of environmental contaminants of current concern. Experimental parameters including extraction and elution times, composition and volume of eluent, and bead recollection were optimized. Required system elements were produced by 3D printing. Enlarging the sample volume by repeated extraction to enhance the sensitivity of the method was studied. Using double extraction from 3.5 mL, limits of detection ranged from 1.2 μg L-1 to 6.5 μg L-1 with an RSD (n = 6) value less than 7% for all the analytes at 25 μg L-1 level. The method was linear in the range of 5-200 μg L-1 and was successfully implemented for the analysis of surface waters with analyte recoveries ranging from 78.4% to 105.6%.
