Detergent quantification is essential to routine analysis because the concentration of amphiphiles is crucial in the crystallization process. HPTLC of detergents (in small quantities, bound to solubilized MPs) on silica gel with dichloromethane – methanol – acetic acid 80:19:1. The optimum HPTLC conditions were investigated using n-dodecyl-beta-D-maltoside (DDM), the most popular detergent for membrane protein crystallization. Quantification by fluorescence measurement at 366 nm using a Hg lamp. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 100-1600 ng of DDM in water and the limit of detection of was 50 ng/zone, which is the best LOD achieved to date for a routine detergent assay (not modified by the addition of NaCl, commonly used in protein buffers). In comparison with other techniques (colorimetry, GC, and FTIR) the HPTLC method has the advantage of no prior sample treatment for concentration or extraction, and no chemical labeling is required. In comparison with TLC, the HPTLC method is 100 times more sensitive. The HPTLC method is suitable for routine analysis, assay results are obtained within 3 hours and only few microliters of sample are needed.

Chromatographia 70 (7-8), 1277-1282 (2009). HPTLC of preservatives on three stationary phases of different polarity: RP-18, RP-18W and cyano phase, with methanol – water mixtures in different volume proportions. The resulting RM values showed a linear decrease with increasing methanol concentration of the mobile phase (determination coefficients for all stationary phases were >0.98). The retention behavior of the preservatives on RP phase is in good agreement with their polarity. Principal component analysis showed that for all three stationary phases the same lipophilic interactions take place.
