Abstract
A method of microanalyzing ions, which includes: placing in a cavity having an internal volume, a volume of an ionic liquid that is smaller than the internal volume; placing in the cavity a solution containing the ions that are to be analyzed, a solvent of the solution and the ionic liquid being selected so as to be immiscible and so as to enable the ions to be transferred from the solution to the ionic liquid; and detecting a presence of the ions in the ionic liquid with an analyzer that analyzes at least one of cations or anions of the ions in the ionic liquid, in a free state or in a complexed state, the analyzer being in contact with the ionic liquid.

A method of microanalyzing ions, which comprises:
- placing in a cavity having an internal volume, a volume of an ionic liquid that is smaller than said internal volume;
- placing in said cavity a solution containing said ions that are to be analyzed, a solvent of the solution and the ionic liquid being selected so as to be immiscible and so as to enable said ions to be transferred from said solution to said ionic liquid;
- and
- detecting a presence of said ions in said ionic liquid with an analyzer that analyzes at least one of cations or anions of said ions in solution in said ionic liquid, in a free state or in a complexed state, said analyzer being in contact with said ionic liquid.
