Microchimica Acta, 180(9-10), 719-739.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12604/2427This review (160 refs). covers the current state of the art of microbacteria-based sorbents for preconcentration of metal ions at trace levels. We highlight advantages and major challenges of the techniques and discuss future perspectives of both batch and column-based methods. Particular attention is paid to the preconcentration of metal ions using resinimmobilized microbacteria for solid phase extractions. We also discuss detection methods including UV–vis spectrophotometry, FAAS, ICP-OES and ICP-MS. Analytical figures of merit are compared, and examples are given for the application to a variety of samples including food, beverages, alloys, water, soil, and geological samples.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPreconcentrationBacteriaMetalsSolid phase extractionSensitivity improvementAtomic spectroscopyInorganic analysisBiomassArticle180719739Q1WOS:000320862100001Q12-s2.0-84879879397
