      J. Planar Chromatogr. 32, 517-520 (2019). HPTLC of tramadol (1), caffeine (2), paracetamol (3), ibuprofen (4), naproxen (5), and diclofenac (6) on RP-18 WF, LiChrospher RP-18 WF, and RP-18 WF with concentration zone, developed with various ratios of methanol in water with 0.1 M potassium chloride. Qualitative identification under UV light at 254 nm. Potassium chloride may be used to suppress ion–ion interactions between the solutes and the silica gel surface.  HPTLC RP-18WF plates with concentration zone and developed with methanol - water 13:7 with addition of 0.15 mol/L KCl were suitable for the qualitative and quantitative analyses of tramadol, paracetamol, caffeine, naproxen, and ibuprofen or diclofenac. The method allowed to study subtle differences in the efficiency of the separation of analgesic drugs by HPTLC with similar octadecyl silica-based adsorbents.

The results met the guidelines of the model process regarding the calibration curves: r-values were at least 0.99, assays were within 85–115% specification limits of the label values of individual tablets and capsules, validation recoveries were within 95 - 105 % at all three spike levels, RSDs were no higher than 3 % for assays and validation analyses, and peak identity and peak purity checks had correlation factors of at least
