      (Study of the relation between homologous retention values and homologous factors in thin-layer chromatography
      F. WANG (Wang Fuan), Y. JIANG (Jiang Yuanli), Y. GUO (Guo Xingchen), T. CAO (Cao Tingzhu), (Dept. Chem. Eng., Zhengzhou Inst. Technol., Zhengzou 450002, P.R. China)

      Chin. J. Anal. Lab. (Fenxi Shiyanshi) 12, 22-24 (1993). A linear equation between the values of the migration parameters of homologs. The equation found valid with a large number of experimental data. According to the equation, the values of the migration parameters of 20 groups of homologs on 28 kinds of stationary phases in 44 mobile phases were calculated and compared with experimental data.

      Analysis of pesticide residues in drinking water by planar chromatography
      Gertrud MORLOCK (CAMAG, Sonnenmattstr. 11, 4132 Muttenz, Switzerland)

      J. Chromatogr. A 754/1-2, 423-430 (1994). Description of HPTLC in the field of water analysis. A short review with 25 references on the analysis of pesticides by classical TLC is given. Explanation of the principle of automated multiple development (AMD) technique, with a separation number about three times higher than in classical TLC. The focusing effect, the gradient development from polar to unpolar, the increasing migration distances and the universal gradient are described. The strategy of the whole procedure which became a German standard is demonstrated from sample preparation (solid-phase extraction), screening, identification to final confirmation of positive results. With only one HPTLC plate up to 720 analytical answers can be given, that means 6 different standard mixtures of 10 pesticides each are applied on one plate together with twelve samples (screening of 12 samples for these 60 pesticides gives 720 analytical answers). Common gradients and separations of pesticide mixtures, as well as water samples containing pesticides are presented.

      A critical look at the definition of multidimensional separations
      L. BLUMBERG*, M.S. KLEE (*Fast GC Consulting, P.O. Box 1243, Wilmington, DE 19801, USA)

      J. Chromatogr. A 1217(1), 99-103 (2010). Discussion of the definition of multidimensional (MD) separations, especially some potentially powerful separation techniques such as comprehensive 2D LC (LC × LC), and comprehensive 2D GC (GC × GC). The definitions of MD separations have been extended by some researches beyond their intended scope. This disqualifies comprehensive 2D techniques as LC × LC, GC × GC and 2D TLC from being considered as 2D techniques. In other instances, extended treatment of the definition is used as a basis to justify design-parameters of comprehensive 2D separations despite the fact that these parameters lead to sub-optimal implementations. The review draws attention to the shortcomings in the definition, discusses the weaknesses in the currently used definitions, and proposes to define n-dimensional analysis as one that generates n-dimensional displacement information.
