J. Planar Chromatogr. 8, 227-231 (1995). Examination of the retention behavior of a-, b-, and g-cyclodextrins on water-wettable RP-18 HPTLC plates with a variety of binary mobile phases. With suitable solvent mixtures the cyclodextrins were well separated. Detection by spraying with sulfuric acid - methanol 1:4 and heating at 140 °C for 2-5 min.

J. Chromatogr. Sci. 25, 130-131 (1987). TLC of sugars on silica with ethyl acetate - acetic acid - water 2:1:1. Visualization by placing the plate after drying for 3 h at room temperature into a glass chamber filled with n-hexane. After about 5 min, the opaque silica layer becomes slightly, but homogeneously, transparent, and the sugar spots remain more opaque.

Lichenologist 25 (1), 61-71 (1993). Horizontal HPTLC of 69 lichen substances on silica with A: toluene - dioxane - acetic acid 45:12:2, B: cyclohexane - methyl tert butyl ether - formic acid 6:5:5:1, C: toluene - acetic acid 20:3. Visualization under UV 254 nm and 366 nm followed by spraying with water for the identification of fatty acids. After plates have dried spraying with 10 % sulfuric acid and heating to 110 °C for 5-10 min. After cooling visualization under UV 366. A table for the identification of 69 lichen substances is presented. A very simple and sensitive HPTLC method which is more advantageous than standard TLC.

Anal. Biochem. 286, 297-300 (2000). 1-ml aliquots of reaction mixtures were quenched by loading directly on silica gel TLC plates. Separation of residual glucose-1-phosphate from polymeric glucans with n-butanol - isopropanol - acetic acid - water 3:12:4:4. Visualization by spraying or dipping with acetic acid - H2SO4 - anisaldehyde 100:2:1.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 55, 7217-7223 (2007). HPTLC of sucralose in burfi, a milk-based confection, on amino phase with acetonitrile - water 4:1 in a horizontal chamber up to a migration distance of 70 mm. Detection by thermal in situ derivatization, drying the plate for at least 5 min, followed by heating at 190 °C for 20 min. Quantitative determination by fluorescence measurement at UV 366/>400 nm. The within-run precision of sucralose determination in the matrix was 4.2 % and the mean recovery rate was 88 %. The limit of detection was 6 ng/band for standard solutions and 1 mg/kg for milk-based matrix. It was demostrated that over 300 runs can be performed within a day of labor with cost-effective instrumentation.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 27, 11-18 (2014). HPTLC of fructose (1), glucuronic acid (1), galacturonic acid (3), rhamnose (4), xylose (5), arabinose (6), and galactose (7) in the seeds of Ocimum basilicum on silica gel with isopropyl acetate - ethyl acetate - ethanol - water 50:40:10:1. Detection by dipping into aniline diphenylamine o-phosphoric acid reagent (20 % of o-phosphoric acid [85%] added to 1:1 mixture of 2 % solutions of diphenylamine and aniline in acetone), followed by heating at 110 ºC for 5 min. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 630 nm except for (4) which was determined at 370 nm. The hRF values for (1) to (7) were 80, 58, 51, 40, 25, 18 and 9, respectively.
