J. Chem. Educ. 72, 1136 (1995). Description of a modified glass rectangular tank for use as a developing chamber for ascending TLC for a first-year analytical chemistry class.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 12, 275-279 (1999). Description of a technique using sequentially connected flexible TLC plates with different adsorbents. A new mathematical approach is proposed for treatment of selectivity in this version of TLC. The technique is illustrated by the separation of test mixtures of dyes.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 15, 377-379 (2002). TLC of methyl red, naphthol red, methyl yellow, and azobenzene as test substances on silica gel and on silica gel covered with a polymeric membrane. Chromatograms were developed both without mobile phase pressure and with application of pressure. The simple system with forced flow of mobile phase can improve the separation of mixtures.

(Russian). Firm laboratory. Evaluation of materials 12 (70), 3-13 (2004). The state of the art and the historical development of EO-TLC is described. Determination of polysaccharides, steroids, colorants, pirimicarb and its analogs (with additional methyl, methoxy and carbamate groups) on silica gel with ethanol or RP18 with water - ethanol 1:4, water- acetonitril 11:9. Frequently used voltages are in the range of 1 - 0,1 kV/cm. Detection of polysaccharides with potassium-iodine reagent. Monitoring of electro-osmotic flow by fluorescence detection (addition of pyrene into mobile phase) or in the vis range (addition of ß-carotene into mobile phase).

J. Planar Chromatogr. 24, 357-359 (2011). TLC of benzo[a]pyrene on RP-18, RP-8, and RP-2 with acetone - ethyl acetate 7:3 in an unsaturated twin-trough chamber. Detection by dipping for 1 s into a solution of 250 mg bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)oxalate in 40 mL of n-butyl acetate and 5 mL of hydrogen peroxide (upper phase). For videodensitometric evaluation the sheets were measured for 2 min and monitored over a period of 2 h. The reaction energy is transferred to the fluorescent compound (benzo[a]pyrene) which emits light while relaxing from its excited state. The advantage of this chemiluminescence reaction performed on a TLC plate is the improvement of the detection limit by extending the measuring time. The detection limit is 50 pg benzo[a]pyrene which is identical to that achievable in chemiluminescence HPLC. The calibration curve for benzo[a]pyrene was linear in the range of 50-8000 pg. The new procedure overcomes the problem of uneven illumination with CCD cameras.

J. Chromatogr. 351, 383-387 (1986). TLC on silica with chloroform - methanol 9:1. Detection by spraying with 0.5 % p-chloranil in dioxane followed by DMF, or 0.5 % p-fluoranil in dioxane, or 0.5 % 2,5-dichloro-p-benzo-quinone in dioxane, followed by DMF or by 0.5 % 2,5-dichloro-p-benzoquinone in DMSO. Detection limit 0.5-4.0 mg.

Discussion of the optimum parameters and the possibility of applying the liquid crystal method to quantification.

J. Indian Acad. Forensic Sci. 29 (2), 3-8 (1990). A simple, sensitive and specific color reaction for the detection of carbaryl (detection limit 1µg) based on the condensation of ß-naphthol (product of carbaryl hydrolysis) followed by oxidation is described. Since other carbamate insecticides do not give the same red-violet color reaction it can be used routinely for specific detection in biological materials in forensic toxicology.
