Sample preparation is the procedure before instrumental analysis and significant to its effectiveness and efficiency. However, this procedure is usually time‐consuming, labor intensive, and prone to error. In the last decade, the development of sample preparation techniques has received increasing attention, especially in complex sample application. To pretreat samples faster and more effectively, advanced materials, instrumentation, and methods have been combined with typical techniques, including extraction, membrane separation, and chemical conversion techniques. Researchers in China focused on the development of simple, efficient sample preparation methods with selective enrichment and rapid separation capabilities for target analysis in complicated sample matrix and contribute almost a half of the publications in this specific field. In this review, a panorama of sample preparation techniques in China has been composed from more than 140 references, and we highlight some promising methods developed during recent years and introduce different separation materials with respect to these methods.
