B. FRIED, J. SHERMA: Practical Thin-Layer Chromatography- A Multidisciplinary Approach. CRC Press 1996, 336 pages, ISBN 0-893-2660-5. Following a short introduction there are eleven chapters dedicated to various fields of TLC analysis such as bacteriology, clinical chemistry, toxicology, food and environmental analysis. Each chapter evaluates the importance of TLC in the given field and compares it with other analytical methods.
J. SHERMA, B. FRIED, eds.: Handbook of Thin-Layer Chromatography, 2nd edition. Marcel Dekker Inc., New York - Basel - Hong Kong, 1996, 1047 pages, 352 illustrations, 312 tables, ISBN 0-8247-9454-0. The book consists of a general part "Principle and Practice of TLC" with contributions of 14 authors and groups of authors and an application oriented part with 18 special topics by as many authors. Most contributions come from competent experts. The reader can find up to date information about many special fields. As to be expected from a compilation of many single papers repetition and sometimes contradiction was unavoidable. 3rd Edition, revised and expanded will be published in March 2003; ISBN: 0-8247-0895-4
B. FRIED, J. SHERMA: Thin-Layer Chromatography, Fourth Edition, revised and expanded, Marcel Dekker Inc., New York - Basel, 1999, 499 pages, ISBN 0-8247-0222-0. The first part of the book offers a concise introduction to modern Thin-layer chromatography including HPTLC. It contains important theoretical information and a discussion of sample preparation, method development and validation together with a description of modern instrumentation for all steps of the TLC process. Special aspects of qualitative, quantitative and preparative applications of modern TLC are emphasized. The second part describes important field of application with extensive collection of references as well as several easy to perform experiments.
