Abstract
Retraction of ‘Combined microporous membrane-based liquid–liquid–liquid microextraction and in situ differential pulse voltammetry for highly sensitive detection of trimipramine’ by Ali A. Ensafi et al., Anal. Methods, 2013, 5, 4027–4033, https://doi.org/10.1039/C3AY40388B.
The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this Analytical Methods article due to concerns with the reliability of the data.
A section of the SEM image in Fig. 2 is duplicated within the image, indicating that the image has been manipulated. In addition, the SEM image is the same as other SEM images published by the authors in other journals.1,2 The authors have not been able to provide a satisfactory reason for how this occurred.
Given the significance of these concerns, the Editor has lost confidence that the findings presented in this paper are reliable.
The authors were informed about the retraction of the article. Ali A. Ensafi has not agreed with the decision, the other authors have not responded.
