Disclosed is an extraction and analysis system and method. The system comprises a separation apparatus, a liquid-liquid extraction apparatus and an analysis apparatus. The liquid-liquid extraction apparatus is configured to receive a substantially continuous inlet flow of a first liquid from the separation apparatus, the first liquid carrying a mixture of components including an analyte. The liquid-liquid extraction apparatus is operable to receive a second liquid for contact with the first liquid, the second liquid being substantially immiscible with the first liquid. This provides partitioning of the analyte and/or another component carried by the first liquid preferentially into the second liquid substantially continuously. Subsequently the first and second liquids are separated substantially continuously. The system further comprises an outlet flow conduit operable substantially continuously to conduct the analyte, in a corresponding flow of said first or second liquid, to the analysis apparatus for substantially continuous analysis.
