      J. Chromatogr. A 1218 (19), 2636-2647 (2011). Presentation of theoretical backgrounds, development, examples of separations, constructional details and principle of action of devices of pressurized planar electrochromatography (PPEC). Description of the development mode in respect of operating variables (composition of the mobile phase, pressure exerted on adsorbent layer, mobile phase flow velocity, temperature of separating system, etc.) influencing separation efficiency (kinetic performance, repeatability, separation time), and the advantages of PPEC such as high kinetic performance, short separation time and different separation selectivities, especially relative to conventional TLC, and its challenge as well.

      Instrument platforms for thin-layer chromatography
      P. BERNARD-SAVARY, C.F. POOLE* (*Department of Chemistry, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI 48202, USA)

      J. Chromatogr. A, 1421, 184-202 (2015). An overview of instrumentation for HPTLC. As an instrumental technique, HPTLC has many advantages compared with high performance column chromatography (HPCC). For instance, HPTLC uses separate devices for each unit operation, usually at or close to atmospheric pressure, and affords higher flexibility supporting on-line or off-line operations, while HPCC requires a fully integrated instrument platform with high pressure capability. The unit operations of HPTLC are defined as sample application, development and evaluation with derivatization as an optional step, and several samples are separated simultaneously in general practice. The diversity of equipment for each operation contributes to the flexibility of HPTLC analysis and supports manual, semi-automated or full-automation of the separation process. Instrument platforms affect performance, repeatability, sample detectability, and time management of analysis. The current trend in HPTLC is to make the unit operations independent of the user. Review on current state-of-the-art in instrumental HPTLC for sample application, development, derivatization, photodocumentation, densitometric evaluation, and hyphenation with spectroscopic detectors with an emphasis on the variety and performance of commercially available systems. Some suggestions for best practices and avoidance of common mistakes are included.

      Applications of two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography
      M. ZAKARIA, M. GONNORD, G. GUIOCHON

      J. Chromatogr. 271, 127-192 (1983). This paper presents a review of the literature up to the early 1982 on the analytical applications of two-dimensional TLC classified acc. to the chemical nature of the compounds separated. Technical aspects of the method (single, mixed or coupled sorbent layers, plate impregnation, solute derivatization, coupling with other analytical techniques), together with effective mechanisms of solute retention are discussed. Future trends of two-dimensional TLC are compared. Over 200 references are cited.
