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.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 12, 196-201 (1999). HPTLC of sterols, triacylglycerols, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine on silica gel; neutral lipids with petroleum ether - ether - acetic acid 80:20:1 in a solvent-equilibrated chamber. Detection by spraying with 5% phosphomolybdic acid in ethanol and heating at 110°C for 10 min. Quantitation by densitometry at 700 nm. Separation of phospholipids with chloroform - methanol - water 65:25:4, detection by spraying with 10% cupric sulfate in 8% phosphoric acid with heating for 20 min; quantitation by densitometry at 370 nm. Qualitative determination of monoacylglycerols and diacylglycerols with a dual-solvent system (acc. to Sipski): Development to a distance of 7 cm with isopropyl ether - acetic acid 24:1, drying with a hair dryer, and development again in the same direction for a distance of 9 cm with petroleum ether - ether - acetic acid 90:10:1.

JAOAC 84, 1277-1282 (2001). HPTLC of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol (DPPG), cholesterol, alkylphosphocholines, and analogues and their related compounds (main degradation products) on silica gel with chloroform (for cholesterol), chloroform - methanol - 25% NH3 (for DPPG-sodium) and chloroform - methanol - sodium acetate 1 mol/l in 25% NH3 7:4:1 for miltefosine and perifosine. For AMD, 2 new gradient systems were developed. Visualization by dipping into a copper (II) sulfate solution (10 g copper sulfate dissolved in 100 ml 8% phosphoric acid) for a few seconds and heating of the plates to 180°C for 20 min. Quantification by densitometry at 500 nm.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 18, 141-146 (2005). TLC of fatty acids (ethanoic, propanoic, butanoic, pentanoic, hexanoic, heptanoic, and octanoic acid) on silica gel with hexane - acetone 4:1 or acetone - water - chloroform - ethanol - aqueous ammonia 30:1:3:5:11 with chamber saturation for 30 min. Only bromocresol green, bromophenol blue, potassium permanganate, and methyl red can be used for the detection. Among the new visualizing agents dipping of the plates in an aqueous solution of alkaline blue enables the detection of the free fatty acids from propanoic to octanoic. Dipping generated better contrast regarding the spots than spraying.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 22, 35-42 (2009). HPTLC of phospholipids (lyso-phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylcholin, lyso-phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidic acid, and triacylglycerol) on silica gel with chloroform - ethanol - water - triethylamine 5:5:1:5. Detection by spraying with a solution of primulin (Direct Yellow 59). Evaluation under UV 366 nm. Detection by MALDI-TOF MS directly on the plates.
