In this work, a single-vial methodology for the extraction and cold vapor generation of mercury(II) was developed, followed by the determination of the analyte by atomic absorption spectrometry, with application in water samples of different salinities. L-cystine-modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles (2LcysMNP) were used as sorbent material in the magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) in the same flask in which the mercury vapor generation step was performed using a handmade gas-liquid separator developed in our laboratory. The main conditions for extraction, pre-concentration, and cold vapor generation of mercury were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, detection and quantification limits of 0.04 and 0.12 µg L-1, respectively, were achieved with a relative standard deviation of 7.5%. The single-vial system allowed for a preconcentration factor of 30 and an enrichment factor of 24. The accuracy of the method was evaluated by applying it to certified reference materials, and the obtained values were not significantly different from the expected values according to the Student's t-test. Verification of non-specific interferences was assessed by recovery tests, resulting in recoveries ranging from 81 to 111% for water samples of different salinities.
