Anal. Chem. 67, 273R-294R (1995). A review with 843 references on forensic science covering drug and poisons, trace evidence and forensic biochemistry, including TLC applications in the area.

Farmaseuttinen aikakauskirja - DOSIS 12, 152-164 (1996). The principles of HPTLC, AMD, coupling of methods (HPLC-TLC) as well as in-situ detection and identification methods (TLC-MS, TLC Raman, TLC-IR) and a universal detection method for drugs are reviewed. According to the authors TLC is an optimal method of analysis in pharmacies.

J. Chromatogr. A 880 (1/2), 129-147 (2000). A review with 181 references on the TLC analysis of agricultural products, foods, beverages and plant constituents for the period from mid-1995 to mid-1999, covering the techniques and applications for wide range of analyte and sample matrix, with specification of the particular layers, mobile phases, detection methods and quantification conditions in many cases.

J. AOAC Int. 86, 602-611 (2003). Review of the advances in the applications of TLC and HPTLC for the separation, detection, identification, and determination of pesticides, other agrochemicals, and related compounds for the period 2000-2002. Analyses are described for a variety of samples, such as food, biological, and environmental samples, and for residues of pesticides of various types, including insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides, belonging to different chemical classes. 88 references are included for residue analysis, hydrophobicity studies, and the use of TLC and thin-layer radio-chromatography for studies of pesticide metabolism, degradation, uptake, and related topics.
