Abstract Human biomonitoring studies are important for understanding adverse health outcomes caused by exposure to chemicals. Complex mixtures of chemicals detected in blood − the blood exposome − may serve as proxies for systemic exposure. Ideally, several analytical methods are combined with in vitro bioassays to capture chemical mixtures as diverse as possible. How many and which (bio)analyses can be performed is limited by the sample volume and compatibility of extraction and (bio)analytical methods. We compared the extraction efficacy of three extraction methods using pooled human plasma spiked with >400 organic chemicals. Passive equilibrium sampling (PES) with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) followed by solid phase extraction (PES + SPE), SPE alone (SPE), and solvent precipitation (SolvPrec) were compared for chemical recovery in LC-HRMS and GC-HRMS as well as effect recovery in four mammalian cell lines (AhR-CALUX, SH-SY5Y, AREc32, PPARγ-BLA). The mean chemical recoveries were 38% for PES + SPE, 27% for SPE, and 61% for SolvPrec. PES + SPE enhanced the mean chemical recovery compared to SPE, especially for neutral hydrophobic chemicals. PES + SPE and SolvPrec had effect recoveries of 100–200% in all four cell lines, outperforming SPE, which had 30–100% effect recovery. Although SolvPrec has the best chemical recoveries, it does not remove matrix like inorganics or lipids, which might pose problems for some (bio)analytical methods. PES + SPE is the most promising method for sample preparation in human biomonitoring as it combines good recoveries with cleanup, enrichment, and potential for high throughput.
