This review discusses developments and future challenges in the automation of solid‐phase microextraction (SPME). The emphasis of the review is placed on automated SPME‐GC using fibre and in‐tube configurations, and includes discussion of recent developments that may have significant implications for automation such as superelastic fibre assemblies and internally cooled fibre‐SPME. Existing methods used for automated SPME‐LC are summarised together with a more detailed overview of recent developments such as using solvent desorption followed by syringe injection using a robotic system. Progress towards automation of other SPME configurations is also discussed.
