J. Planar Chromatogr. 3, 177-180 (1990). Development of a planar chromatographic method for the positional analysis of naturally occurring triacylglycerols, consisting of initial random splitting of triacylglycerols by a Grignard reagent to the three corresponding diacylglycerols. These are subsequently separated in two elution steps by straight phase planar chromatography. The second elution step is carried out in a counter-direction after cutting the plate. The fatty acid composition of each single diacylglycerol is then determined by capillary GC. - TLC of diacylglycerols on silica with ether - hexane 1:1 with traces of formic acid (first direction). After derivatization (at the edge of a plate) with phosphomolybdic acid, the 1.2-diacylgycerols are removed (for GC analysis); the plate is cut along the line of scraped off 1,3-diacylglycerides, chromatographed in the opposite direction with ether - hexane 3:2 with traces of formic acid. The corresponding separated zones (2,3-diacylglycerols migrates above the 1,2-diacylglycerols are scraped off, transmethylated to FAMEs and subsequently analyzed by capillary GC.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 7, 286-287 (1994). HPTLC of EDTA of an authentic sample of surface water on silica prewashed with acetone - dichloromethane 1:9 by AMD, using a 30 step gradient based on ammoniacal methanol - dichloromethane. Scanning by FTIR. The method has been validated for 0.5 - 3.75 µg EDTA; validated limits of detection and determination were calculated to be 250 and 450 ng, respectively. Samples containing from 10 to 100 µg/L EDTA can be analyzed without derivatization.
