This study presents a fast alternative method for screening and profiling of FAs, which has the advantage of not requiring any complicated sample preparation, thus limiting the loss of analytes. Almost no manual handling, together with the very small sample volumes needed, is certainly beneficial for the determination of trace amounts and should open up the field of applications to also include atmospheric aerosol and fog.
