J. Planar Chromatogr. 17, 186-191 (2004). TLC of sixteen new herbicides (7 2-(chlorophenoxy)acyl derivatives like e.g.methyl 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate, methyl 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propionate and 9 N-aryltrichloroacetamides like e.g. N-(4-chlorophenyl)trichloroacetamide, n-trichloroacetanilide, trichoroacetanilide) on RP-18 with aqueous buffer - methanol mixtures in saturated sandwich chambers. A Reprostar 3 video camera and Videostore software were used for visualization and evaluation of chromatograms.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 22, 65-71 (2009). Presentation of two simple and rapid HPTLC methods for early detection of the effects of herbicides using two different groups of plant biomarkers, which were developed as field tests (Herbicide Weed Response test - HWR-Test). Phytochemical changes can be detected before any morphological changes are visible on the plants. These changes are defined as biomarkers and can be detected by HPTLC-screening. After overall identification of the phytochemical biomarker pattern, two different biomarker groups, carbohydrates and amino acids, were detected using modified reagents for color reactions. Evaluation under daylight and videodensitometric analysis of digital images by VideoScan software. The screening method was previously described [H. W. Ravn, M. Hjorth, L. Lauridsen, P. Kudsk, S. K. Mathiassen, L. Mondolot, Bull. Environ. Contam. Toxicol. 75, 236-245 (2005)].

J. Planar Chromatogr. 12, 145-149 (1999). TLC of 24 new chlorotriazines on silica gel with 14 different solvents. Visualization under UV 254 nm. Quantitation by densitometry. The proposed procedure can be used not only for monitoring the synthesis and to check the purity of the products but also for the determination of their stability and environmental behavior.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 17, 468-476 (2004). HPTLC of nine s-triazines on RP-18 and cyano phases with aqueous solutions of different organic modifiers (acetone, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, and dioxane). After development the dried plates were examined under UV light at 254 nm. OPLC on RP-8 and RP-18 with water - acetonitrile. The plates were preconditioned in acetonitrile before development.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 22, 59-63 (2009). HPTLC of paraquat, diquat, difenzoquat, mepiquat, and chloromequat on LiChrospher silica gel with 1-propanol - methanol - 2.5 M aqueous sodium chloride 1:1:3. Detection by immersion for 2 s in a solution of 50 mg sodium tetraphenyl borate in 50 mL of water containing 50 µL concentrated hydrochloric acid. The wet plate was illuminated for 5 min with UV light at 254 nm which resulted in the formation of fluorescing spots corresponding to mepiquat, chloromequat, and difenzoquat. Immediately after illuminating at 254 nm all spots were illuminated for 10 min with UV light at 365 nm, which converted all compounds into fluorescent derivatives. Then the dry plate was dipped into ethylene glycol - methanol 1:1 for 2 s, which enhanced the fluorescence by a factor of two. Detection by fluorescence measurement and averaged densitograms were obtained in the emission wavelength range from 440 to 480 nm.
