• Needle-trap devices (NTDs) perform exhaustive sampling/extraction using a needle packed with sorbent particles. Over time, various configurations and extraction modes of sampling have been introduced with the goal of simplifying the construction of the device and the extraction procedure, reducing the cost, and improving desorption efficiency. The present review begins by providing an overview of the evolution of the structure of NTDs, followed by an examination of one of the less-studied applications of this technology: the study of aerosol samples. Regarding the latter topic, we discuss the importance of modifying the NTD design by incorporating a filter as additional packing material. This modification results in a Filter-Incorporated NTD (FI-NTD), which expands the potential areas in which this technology can be applied. Furthermore, this review provides a survey of studies examining the particle-trapping capabilities of NTDs and details the challenges associated with this method to guide future research. [Display omitted] •Needle-trap devices (NTD) are robust and exhaustive microextraction devices.•NTD can be used for on-site sampling or total on-site analysis.•NTD can be used in passive sampling for exposure studies.•Application of NTD covers biological and environmental samples.•Aerosols can be comprehensively studied by filter incorporated (FI) NTD.
