Abstract
EN Ultrasound technology has become a powerful tool in modern analytical chemistry, particularly for accelerating and miniaturizing sample preparation processes. This review systematically summarizes the progress in ultrasound-assisted microextraction techniques, including dispersive liquid–liquid, emulsification, and solid- or sorbent-based microextractions. The discussion integrates mechanistic understanding of acoustic cavitation and microstreaming with their practical influence on extraction efficiency, enrichment factors, and analyte stability. Special attention is given to the use of ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, and magnetic deep eutectic solvents as environmentally benign extractants. The review highlights current trends toward greener, faster, and automatable analytical workflows, while critically addressing limitations such as uneven energy distribution and sonochemical degradation. Finally, key challenges and future directions are outlined, including quantitative modeling of cavitation effects and the development of smart ultrasound-assisted platforms for automated, high-throughput sample preparation.
