Summary Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has been combined with gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) for the determination of lidocaine in human urine. A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coated fibre was directly immersed into buffered urine. Extraction conditions such as time, pH, ionic strength, temperature, and agitation were optimised. The extracted lidocaine was thermally desorbed in a split/splitless injector for analysis with a GC-FID system or desorbed with liquid in a specially designed SPME-LC interface for analysis with an LC-UV system. After optimisation the method developed was evaluated and validated. Extraction yields of 22% were obtained in about 45 min. The reproducibility of the method is 〈5% (relative standard deviation). For five-times diluted urine, linear ranges were found from 5–1000 and 25–1000 ng·mL−1 for SPME-GC and SPME-LC, with detection limits of 5 ng·mL−1 for SPME-GC and 25 ng·mL−1 for SPME-LC. SPME can be used as a simple sample pretreatment method for the determination of lidocaine in urine by GC and LC.
