Discussion of the potential and the constraints of TLC, GC and HPLC towards substance identification, together with their detection modes, including color reactions on the plate, MS and diode - array UV spectrophotometry. Evaluation of the identification power of TLC and color reactions plus GC or HPLC retention indices for the purpose. The possibility for identification by means of computerized database searches are considered.

J. Chromatogr. A 705, 89-103 (1995). A review with 89 references on the title method and its applications. The technique separates fluorescently-labeled carbohydrates on polyacrylamide gels and uses a charge-coupled device camera to detect and quantify the products.

Anal. Chem. 78, 3841-3852 (2006). TLC and HPTLC literature found by computer-assisted searching in Chemical Abstracts and the ISI Web of Science (11.2003 – 11.2005) is covered. The literature search was augmented by consulting Analytical Abstracts, and the following journals were searched directly: J. Chrom. (parts A and B and the bibliography issues), J. Chrom. Science, Chromatographia, Anal. Chem., J. Liq. Chrom. & Rel. Technol., J. AOAC Int., J. Planar Chromatogr. – Modern TLC and Acta Chrom. (Papers reporting research on paper chromatography were not included.) 205 references were cited from the last 2 years. The different chapters are: history, student experiments, books and reviews; theory and fundamental studies; chromatographic systems (stationary and mobile phases); apparatus and techniques; detection and identification of separated zones; quantitative analysis; preparative layer chromatography and thin-layer radiochromatography.

Anal. Chim. Acta 624 (1), 1-15 (2008). Aminoglycosides and macrolides are important antibiotics for veterinary medicine and are widely used in the treatment of bacterial disease, and as feed additives for growth promotion. As a result the European commission set strict criteria for monitoring residues and requires testing for low levels of aminoglycosides and macrolides in foods. Therefore the development of fast, reliable, and sensitive methods for the extraction and subsequent analysis of these antibiotics is of great interest. The review discusses analytical methods for both extraction and determination of antibiotics in various food matrices focusing on the last 10 years. Extraction and clean-up methods such as deproteinization and solid-phase extraction are described, and various screening methods including TLC, EI, CE, microbiological assays, and LC combined with MS are reviewed.

J. Chromatogr. A 1218 (19), 2636-2647 (2011). Presentation of theoretical backgrounds, development, examples of separations, constructional details and principle of action of devices of pressurized planar electrochromatography (PPEC). Description of the development mode in respect of operating variables (composition of the mobile phase, pressure exerted on adsorbent layer, mobile phase flow velocity, temperature of separating system, etc.) influencing separation efficiency (kinetic performance, repeatability, separation time), and the advantages of PPEC such as high kinetic performance, short separation time and different separation selectivities, especially relative to conventional TLC, and its challenge as well.
