      J. Planar Chromatogr. 33, 11-18 (2020). HPTLC of lutein in dietary supplements on silica gel with n-heptane – ethyl acetate 9:1. The part of the TLC chromatogram containing the zone visible in day light was cut off, followed by developing in the opposite direction with n-heptane – acetone – ethyl acetate 11:5:4.

      J. of Chromatogr. A 1218 (50), 9111-9114 (2011). A short communication on the fractionation, separation and identification of spinochrome pigments from sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) shells by TLC with off-line HPLC coupled to diode array detection and microTOF-Q mass spectrometry (HPLC–DAD–MS). Two fractions of pigments were obtained and separated by TLC, then eluted with methanol directly into the MS using the TLC-MS Interface. The HPLC-DAD-MS analysis of the fractions indicated the presence of six sea urchin pigments: spinochrome monomers B and D, three spinochrome dimers (anhydroethylidene-6,6'-bis(2,3,7-trihydroxynaphthazarin) and its isomer and ethylidene-6,6'-bis(2,3,7-trihydroxynaphthazarin)), and one pigment that was preliminary identified as a spinochrome dimer with the structural formula C22H16O16.
