TLC of T-2 mycotoxin, HT-2, T-2 triol and T-2 tetraol on silica with 2 sequential solvent systems: 1. chloroform - ethyl acetate - ethanol 50:25:25 and 2. chloroform - ethyl acetate - ethanol 80:10:10. Detection of unlabelled mycotoxin standards by reacting with 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine; radiolabelled standards by autoradiography.

Detection and determination of aflatoxin B1, B2, G1 and G2 in foodstuff. Official Collection of Assay Methods acc. to 35 LMBG. Two dimensional TLC of aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2 on silica with diethyl ether — methanol - water 94:4.5:1.5 (1st direction) and chloroform - acetone 9:1 (2nd direction). Evaluation under UV 366 nm. Verification via application of different eluents and via derivatization with e.g. trifluoroacetic acid. Quantification with fluorodensitometry.

Chromatographia 29, 435-440 (1990). Bi-directional TLC of aflatoxin B1, G1, B2, G2 on silica with ether. Comparison of tank development with continuous linear development. Quantification by fluorodensitometry. Evaluation of the ability of different concentration of aqueous acetone – methanol 1:1 in extraction of aflatoxine from maize.

J. AOAC Int., 74, 655-660 (1991). TLC of culture extract and sample extract (of barley and wheat) on silica (plastic sheets) with chloroform – methanol – NH3 40:10:1. After development drying of the plates at room temperature for 3 min, then spraying with an acetylation reagent (5% acetic anhydride in acetonitrile solution – 4-dimethylaminopyridine solution 1:1. 5 min after spraying the sheet was cut into strips (ca. 1 cm wide) for each sample applied; the each strip was further cut into 0.5 cm sections and assayed by ELISA.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 8, 69-72 (1995). TLC and HPTLC of hepatotoxins in aqueous and algal samples on silica and RP-18 with 13 different mobile phase systems. Scanning densitometry at 196 nm, confirmation by multiwavelength scanning. The method described is a rapid and facile test, which can be performed in small laboratories, for screening water sources or blooms for cyanobacterial toxins in a hygienic setting.

J. Chromatogr. A 815, 31-39 (1998). A review with 76 references on the development of TLC as well as other chromatographic methods for the determination of toxins in maize and maize-based foods, involving GC, HPLC and HPLC-MS methods.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 13, 443-446 (2000). HPTLC of deoxynivalenol on silica gel with chloroform - acetone - 2-propanol 8:1:1. Detection by spraying with a 20% solution of aluminium chloride in ethanol and heating at 10°C for 10 min. Fluoro-densitometry by densitometry at 366/>420 nm. Information on linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, and recovery as well as repeatability and accuracy is also given.

J. AOAC Int. 96, 1167-1174 (2013). The review reports various applications of bioautography tests for determination of wide spectrum of antimicrobials. Based on two direct tests using Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli, the review discusses different applications for the screening of analytes in various biological samples. For example, the antibacterial activity of essential oils in conifers is estimated on the basis of the measured area of inhibition zones.
