Acta Chrom. 6, 21-38 (1996). The possibility of using a thermodynamic approach for optimization of mixed mobile phases for systems with binary and ternary solvents is discussed, as well as the method for predicting separation results in column liquid chromatography on the basis of experimental thin-layer chromatographic data. The effect of mobile phase composition on solute retention is described by solute capacity factors (characteristic of the pure solvents), molecular interactions occurring in the bulk phase and adsorption equilibrium in a given adsorbent – binary solution system. Two kinds of chambers were used in the investigation: a saturated Stahl chamber and a sandwich chamber. The study described the use of different TLC techniques as pilot methods for HPLC.

Chromatography the State of Art, Vol. II, Akademiai Kiado, Budapest 1985, 751-757 RM values of 36 quaternary ammonium steroids were determined by reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography. The RM values of these compounds, deviating from the general role, do not change linearly with the organic solvent ratio of the eluent.

Acta Chromatographica 14, 5-15 (2004). Investigation of lateral interactions of 4-phenylbutyric acid in mild planar chromatographic systems comprising low-activity stationary phases, such as microcrystalline cellulose or chromatography paper, and low-polarity decalin as mobile phase. Acquisition of densitograms of the bands of interest was carried out in order to judge the presence or absence of lateral interactions of the analyte in the chromatographic system by comparison of the shape of the concentration profile. Discussion of the observation that the concentration profile of 4-phenylbutyric acid on cellulose powder could be easily measured on a freshly developed chromatogram only after drying whereas on chromatography paper developed at room temperature it was hardly detectable, and became fully shaped only two days later. Presentation of a tentative explanation on this phenomenon.
