      J. Liq. Chromatogr. Relat. Technol. 31, 555-566 (2008). Five new derivatization reagents (gentian violet, methylene violet, methylene blue, malachite green, and Janus blue) were used to detect estradiol on aluminium oxide. Barton’s reagent, rhodamine B, and sulfuric acid were used as the comparative derivatization reagents. Limit of detection, detection index, modified broadening index, modified contrast index, and linearity range were determined for estradiol after derivatization with these reagents. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement between 200 and 600 nm.
