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.

After drying visualization under UV light at 254 and 366 nm. Quantification by densitometric fluorescence measurement at 380 nm. Limits of determination were from 0.04 to 0.30 ng/zone.

CBS 97, 6-7 (2006). HPTLC of absinthe (a beverage of the wormwood plant, Artemisia absinthium) on silica gel with acetone - acetic acid (98 %) - toluene - dichloromethane 1:1:3:5 over 70 mm. Detection by dipping in a solution of acetic anhydride - sulphuric acid - ethanol 1:1:10 followed by heating at 104 °C for 5 min. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 554 nm.
