In the current work, a hierarchical nanocomposite based on MnO2 nanosheets attached to the C-Fe2O3 substrate
(C-Fe2O3@MnO2) was introduced as a novel and efficient dispersive-μ-solid phase extraction sorbent. The wellprepared
nanocomposite with unique morphology leading to higher surface area, high porosity, and excellent
adsorptive capacity was used for preconcentration of antifungal drugs (ketoconazole, clotrimazole, and miconazole)
from plasma and wastewater samples before analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC-UV). The synthesized nanosorbent was characterized using XRD, FTIR, FE-SEM, BET/BJH, and EDX
analysis. In the optimal condition, the limit of detection (LODs) and the limit of quantification (LOQs) were
acquired as 1.5, 5.0 μg L 1 in the linear range of 5–500 μg L 1 in plasma samples and 0.3, 1.0 μg L 1 in the linear
range of 1–150 μg L 1 in wastewater samples for all analytes. Furthermore, the relative standard deviations (RSD
%) for the repeatability of the sorbent synthesis method and reusability of one sorbent were found to be 0.92,
1.23, 1.32 % and 2.43, 3.15, 4.28 % for ketoconazole, clotrimazole, and miconazole, respectively.
