JAOAC Int. 84, 993-999 (2001): Review of advances in the application of TLC and HPTLC for the separation, detection, and qualitative and quantitative determination of pesticides, other agrochemicals, and related compounds for the period 1998-2000. Analyses are covered for a variety of samples, such as food, biological, and environmental, and for the residues of pesticides of various types, including insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides, belonging to different chemical classes. References of formulation analysis, hydrophobicity studies, and the use of TLC and thin-layer radiochromatography (TLRC) for the studies of pesticide metabolism, degradation, uptake, and related studies are also included. Topics covered are Materials and Techniques (sample preparation; thin-layer plates, mobile phase selection and plate development; detection and identification of zones; quantitative determination), Applications of TLC (OC and pyrethroid insecticides, OP pesticides, herbicides and plant growth regulators, fungicides, multiclass and miscellaneous pesticide determinations, theoretical, degradation, metabolism, uptake, hydrophobicity, and soil mobility studies, multidimensional methods); 64 references.

Anal. Chem. 78, 3841-3852 (2006). TLC and HPTLC literature found by computer-assisted searching in Chemical Abstracts and the ISI Web of Science (11.2003 – 11.2005) is covered. The literature search was augmented by consulting Analytical Abstracts, and the following journals were searched directly: J. Chrom. (parts A and B and the bibliography issues), J. Chrom. Science, Chromatographia, Anal. Chem., J. Liq. Chrom. & Rel. Technol., J. AOAC Int., J. Planar Chromatogr. – Modern TLC and Acta Chrom. (Papers reporting research on paper chromatography were not included.) 205 references were cited from the last 2 years. The different chapters are: history, student experiments, books and reviews; theory and fundamental studies; chromatographic systems (stationary and mobile phases); apparatus and techniques; detection and identification of separated zones; quantitative analysis; preparative layer chromatography and thin-layer radiochromatography.

Recent advances such as software for visual comparison of chromatograms are included. In addition, new applications of TLC in the field of forensic ink analysis and comparison with spectrometric and chromatographic methods are also described.
