PG - 141 LID - 10.1007/s00604-018-2697-6 [doi] AB - Graphene oxide (GO), nanosized Fe(3)O(4) and zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) were hybridized as a multifunctional sorbent for use in microextraction. The sorbent was characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD and FTIR. The composite is porous, has a high specific surface (> 600 m(2).g(-1)) and is paramagnetic. The GO sheets are shown to act as carriers for the Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles and ZIF-8. The composite is a viable material for the preconcentration of atorvastatin and simvastatin from urine prior to their determination by HPLC with PDA detection. The limits of detection are 116 and 387 pg.mL(-1), respectively. Recoveries from spiked urine samples range between 84.7 and 95.7%, with relative standard deviation of
