      J. AOAC Int. 94, 1567-1572 (2011). TLC of flumequin as standard on silica gel using various incubation times. After incubation, the plates were sprayed with 0.2 % aqueous MTT solution and incubated for 0.5 h at 37 °C. The regression coefficients were 0.9977 and 0.9968, respectively, for intraday and interday curves. The calibration curves showed good linearity in the range of 5-500 ng (0.5-50.0 µg/mL). The established LOD of flumequine was 5 ng/zone (0.5 µg/mL). One drop of triton X-100/10 mL aqueous MTT solution was found to enhance the intensity of the color.
