J. Planar Chromatogr. 28, 413-425 (2015). Review of the use of thin-layer chromatography for the analysis of ionizable substances. Regarding acidic and basic compounds, the review describes the use of polar adsorbents and polar bonded stationary phases as well as reversed-phase separations._x000D_

J. Liq. Chromatogr. Relat. Technol. 28, 2297-2314 (2005). Review of the use of TLC and HPTLC for the analysis of biological samples of particular interest to biologists, biochemists, hematologists, immunologists, medical diagnosticians, and molecular biologists. Determinations of amino acids, drugs, cabohydrates, lipids, toxins, vitamins, indoles, antibiotics, peptides, pigments, phenols, bile acids, and coumarins in sample matrices such as blood, urine, feces, saliva, cerebrospinal fluids, body tissues, and other biologics are considered. The review discusses the advantage of using modern TLC for biological applications and summarizes important information on stationary and mobile phases and methods used for application of standards and samples, plate development, and zone detection, identification, and quantification.
