      Evaluation of thin-layer chromatography systems for analysis of amino acids in complex mixtures
      J.D. VASTA, M. CICCHI, J. SHERMA*, B. FRIED (*Lafayette College, Department of Chemistry, Easton PA 18042-1782 USA)

      Acta Chromatographica 21 (1), 29-38 (2009). Evaluation of different TLC systems for analysis of 21 amino acids in biological tissues and fluids. Detection by derivatization with ninhydrin reagent, and determination of Rf values by slit-scanning densitometry. The five most suitable systems were cellulose and silica gel plates developed with either 2-butanol - pyridine - acetic acid - water 39:34:10:26 or 2-butanol - pyridine - 25 % ammonia - water 39:34:10:26, and ion exchange plates developed with citrate buffer of pH 3.3. Detection with ninhydrin allowed the identification of all amino acids except for leucine and isoleucine in complex mixtures. Quantification is possible as well if the amino acid of interest is well separated from adjacent components of the mixture. The method is illustrated with example chromatograms on cellulose HPTLC layer showing the identification and separation of amino acids in snail tissue samples.
