CCBS - Cumulative CAMAG Bibliography Service

Since 1997 the most comprehensive compilation of literature in the field of Planar Chromatography (TLC/HPTLC) is available as database. It contains all abstracts of CBS issues beginning with CBS 51 (May 1983). The database is updated after every other CBS edition. Currently it includes more than 8000 abstracts of publications between 1982 and today.

You can now carry out your own exhaustive TLC/HPTLC literature search:

Select from the familiar CBS classification system one of the 38 specialist sections in which you want to institute a search by a key word of your choice. Alternatively you can have the search performed in all sections.
Enter your key word (search word), e.g. an author's name, a substance, a technique, a reagent or a term from amongst the key words of the abstract.
All abstracts in which the key word occur appear separately and in sequence on the screen together with an indication of the total number of abstracts in which the search word was found.
You can eliminate abstracts irrelevant to your needs from the total and print out the remainder or just one selected abstract.
