J. Liq. Chromatogr. & Relat. Technol. 29, 2167-2180 (2006). HPTLC of neutral lipids on prewashed silica gel with petroleum ether - diethyl ether - glacial acetic acid 80:20:1; and of methyl and steryl esters with hexane - petroleum ether (35-60°C) - diethyl ether - glacial acetic acid 50:25:5:1 in a twin trough chamber saturated for 20 min. Detection by spraying with a 50 % solution of phosphomolybdic acid in ethanol, followed by heating at 115°C for 10 min. Polar lipids were separated with chloroform - methanol - water 65:25:4. Detection by spraying with 10 % cupric sulfate solution, followed by heating at 140 °C for 10 min. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 610 nm for neutral lipids and at 370 nm for polar lipids.

Ind. J. Pharm. Sci. 68 (6), 838-840 (2006). HPTLC of ofloxacin and ornidazole in tablet dosage form on silica gel with n-butanol - ethanol - ammonia 5:5:4. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 295 nm. The method was found to be linear in the concentrate range of 1-5 ng/spot with recovery of 99.5-102.5 % for both compounds. The method was validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, repeatability, and specificity.

J. Sep. Sci. 30, 1250-1254 (2007). HPTLC of Emblica officinalis extract on silica gel with ethyl acetate – formic acid – glacial acetic acid – water 10:1:1:2. Primary detection under UV 280 nm. Antiradical activity of individual components was estimated on intensity of disappearance of violet/purple background of plate after dipping in DPPH radical solution (0.5 mM in methanol) at room temperature for 90 s and that 30 s at 60 °C. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 517 nm as negative peak. DPPH radical scavenging activity of emblicanins A and B was 7.9 and 11.2 times more active than that of ascorbic acid and 1.3 and 1.8 times more active than gallic acid, respectively.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 20, 127-130 (2007). TLC of isorhamnetin-3-glucoside, isorhamnetin-3-rutinoside, kaempferol-3-rhamnosidoglucoside, isoquercitrin, rutoside, hyperoside on silica gel in horizontal chamber with ethyl acetate - methyl ethyl ketone - formic acid - water 5:3:1:1 or ethyl acetate - formic acid - water 9:1:1. Quantitation by scanning at 366 nm; detection by spraying with a 1 % methanolic solution of Natural Product Reagent A followed by a 4 % methanolic solution of polyethylene glycol 400.

Food Res. Int. 40, 167-175 (2007). HPTLC of absinthin in absinthe beverage (from the wormwood plant Artemisia absinthium L.) on silica gel with acetone - acetic acid (98 %) – toluene – dichloromethane 1:1:3:5. Detection by dipping into a solution of acetic anhydride – sulphuric acid – ethanol 1:1:10, followed by heating for 5 min at 104 °C. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 554 nm. The hRf value of absinthin was 64 and selectivity regarding matrix was given. Linearity was between 0.1 and 10 g/L. The precision was better than 13.5 % (intraday) and 15.8 % (interday). The limit of detection and quantification for absinthin was 0.05 and 0.11 g/L, respectively.
