Merck Spectrum (Darmstadt) 2, 58-59 (1988). TLC determination of p-phenyl-pentadecanoic acid 123I on silica RP-18 with acetone - methyl cyanide - chloroform 5:4:2 and of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) on cellulose with butanol - acetic acid - water 4:1:1. Detection by recording the nuclide radiation resp. direct evaluation with a radio-TLC-analyser.

Derivatives of ether and ester analogues of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidyl ethanolamine and platelet activating factor. J. Chromatogr. 508, 382-385 (1990). TLC of benzoate derivatives of various lipid classes on silica with benzene – hexane – ether 10:9:1. Detection by charring with sulfuric acid and heating at 180°C for 30 min. HPLC after purification by TLC.

J. Chromatogr. 533, 297-299 (1990). TLC of phospholipids on silica developed four or five times with chloroform - methanol - 2-propanol - 0.25% potassium chloride - ethyl acetate 30:9:25:6:18. Detection by spraying with Vaskovsky’s and orcinol reagents.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 3, 269-271 (1990). HPTLC separation of saturated, monoenoic and dienoic fatty acid methyl esters and corresponding fatty acid dimethylacetals on silica, prepared with 10% AgNO3, and chloroform - methanol 99:1, 95:1. Visualization by spraying with 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein and visualization under UV. Reverse phase TLC can be as effective as HPLC for the investigation of fatty acid metabolism but is more rapid and more suitable for analyzing multiple radioactive samples.

J. Chromatogr. 581, 139-142 (1992). TLC of phospholipids and three lyso-phospholipids on silica containing 0.4% ammonium sulfate with chloroform - methanol - acetic acid - acetone - water 40:25:7:4:4:2. Detection by exposing to iodine vapor.

J. Chromatogr. 624, 11-19 (1992). Discussion of the fundamentals of lipid analysis by TLC and the techniques such as densitometry, preparative TLC and TLC with FID, as well as applications from the areas of dairy, marine and plant lipids, and additives like lecithins (emulsifying agents, etc.).

Chromatographia 42, 252-258 (1996). TLC of lipid groups in marine oils on silica with petrol ether - ether - acetic acid 170:30:3. Detection by spraying with 5% sulfuric acid in methanol and heating at 110°C. Identification by retention factors. Preparative TLC of shark liver oil lipids using the same system. SFC of the TLC fractions after elution.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 11, 105-107 (1998). Use of HPTLC to determine chemotaxonomic differences between the neutral lipid content of three trematode species. Visual observations of the chromatograms showed some differences between both the major and minor neutral lipids present in the adults of these worms. Densitometric quantitative analysis showed significant differences between the triacylglycerol contents, but not between the sterol content of any of the species. HPTLC of lipids (e.g. cholesterol, oleic acid, triolein, methyl oleate, and cholesteryl oleate) on silica gel with petroleum ether - ether - acetic acid 80:20:1. Detection by spraying with 5% phosphomolybdic acid in ethanol and heating for 20 min at 110°C. HPTLC was performed at 22°C and 55% relative humidity. Densitometry at 700 nm.
