In this paper, we present novel developments to our recently developed method so-called “continuous sample drop flow microextraction (CSDF-ME)” technique. Previously, we showed that the CSDF-ME technique offers several advantages, including stability of extraction solvent, no need for holder device, and easy to operate. The merit of current study is to make the extraction steps faster with sample required for the analysis. The key novelty of proposed method includes usage of a solvent mixture (i.e., methanol and carbon disulfide), allowing to pump aqueous samples with a higher flow rate than the former technique which led to reduce the extraction time. Results show that the technique is cable to become faster by five times with an enrichment factor of 93 for 4.0 mL of aqueous sample. The linear range and limit of detection for Pb are found to be 0.1–6.0 and 0.03 µg L−1, respectively. The relative standard deviation for determination of 1.0 µg L−1 of Pb in a sample is 2.9% (n=5). Furthermore, the relative recoveries of the developed CSDF-ME method for Pb in tap water, mineral water, and Standard Reference Material for apple leaves (1515) are shown to be 98, 100, and 94%, respectively.
