      Giovanni Olini (1200 AD) and St. Nicolosa Bursa (1500 AD). J. Planar Chromatogr. 28, 205-212 (2015). TLC of (1) proteins, (2) resins, (3) sugars, and (4) waxes from fragments of the surface-coating material found on mummified bodies on silica gel for (2), (3), and (4), and on cellulose phase for (1) with n-butanol - acetic acid - water 4:1:1 for (1), benzene - methanol 19:1 for (2), acetonitrile - water 17:3 for (3), and petroleum ether - diethyl ether - acetic acid 90:10:1 for (4).

      Planta Medica 82 (15), 1351-1358 (2016). The barks of forest trees (Acer pseudoplatanus, Alnus glutinosa, Fagus sylvatica, Fraxinus excelsior, Larix decidua, Picea abies, Populus robusta, Populus tremula, Prunus avium, Quercus robur) were successively extracted with n-heptane, methanol, and methanol/water; extracts and gentamycin were applied on TLC plates (but not developed; no TLC), which were sterilised, covered with a Mueller-Hinton agar medium containing a Staphylococcus aureus CIP 53.154 suspension, incubated at 37°C for 24 h, and revealed with MTT. All the methanolic extracts were active, as well as some other, the most active being those of Q. robur, L. decidua, and P. abies.

      J. Chromatogr. Sci. 54 (9), 1661-1669 (2016). Development of two sensitive and accurate stability-indicating chromatographic methods for the determination of rafoxanide (RFX): 1) by TLC on silica gel with chloroform – ethyl acetate – toluene – ammonia 50:40:3:1, determination by densitometry at 280 nm; 2) by UPLC. Identification of the degradation products by mass spectrometry and IR spectroscopy. Both proposed methods proved to be accurate, robust, specific and suitable for application as stability-indicating methods for routine analysis of RFX in quality control laboratories.

      J. AOAC Int. 101, 1993-2000 (2018). HPTLC of neutral lipids in fatty acid methyl ester (FAME)-derived biodiesel (1) and sphingolipids in human plasma (2) on LiChrospher or silica gel with a 4-step gradient based on t-butyl methyl ether, dichloromethane, and n-heptane for (1) and a 7-step gradient based on methanol and dichloromethane for (2). Detection of neutral lipids by dipping into a methanolic primuline solution (0.02 g/100 mL), followed by fluorescence recording at 366/>400 nm. Detection of sphingolipids by absorbance measurement at 190 nm. Zones of interest were eluted into an electrospray ionization-ion trap MS (ESI-MS) using a TLC-MS interface. _x000D_
