Encyclopedia of Chromatography Third Edition 1, 874-877 (2009). The author describes the application of TLC to predict the optimum isocratic and gradient eluent composition in traditional and modern flash chromatography. For method development, the hRf should be between 15 and 35 for the component of interest. A relationship between hRF and column volumes for FC is proposed and solvent strenght calculations for different systems are described.

B. Fried, R. Toledo (Eds): The biology of echinostomes. Springer 2009. Chapter 10. Review on TLC and HPTLC for qualitative and quantitative determination of lipids, amino acids, carbohydrates and pigments in echinostomes. the goal of this work was to better understand the chemical composition of larval and adult echinostomes and of the host tissues infected by these digeneans.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 25, 269-276 (2012). Important steps to reduce the systematical errors in planar chromatography were described. Different aspects such as selecting the center of the plate, repairing the unwanted start chromatography by using a solvent, avoiding mobile phase interaction that may influence hRf values, improving signal integration by multi integration at mini stepwise positioning, applying statistical methods for outlier removal and data correlation of signal over substance mass were defined as important parameters to improve repeatability standard deviation.

Bioorg. Chem. 50, 1-10 (2013). Review of the current status of research on sesame lignans, regarding analytical methods, biological activities and biosynthesis. The papers described the revolutionary change in the type of techniques used and reported some of the TLC and HPTLC methods that allowed for lignan separation and quantification.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 28, 413-425 (2015). Review of the use of thin-layer chromatography for the analysis of ionizable substances. Regarding acidic and basic compounds, the review describes the use of polar adsorbents and polar bonded stationary phases as well as reversed-phase separations._x000D_

Food Chem. 210, 200-211 (2016). Review of the principles and applications of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) in food science and related fields. The review described the combination of MALDI-MSI and HPTLC, including the visualization of phospholipids in chicken egg yolk on silica gel with acetonitrile – water 1:1.

J. Ethnopharmacol. 194, 30-56 (2016). Review of information on the ethnobotany, phytochemistry, pharmacological research and toxicity of Anogeissus species, including the application of HPTLC for the quantitative investigation of gallic acid, ellagoc acid as well as flavonoids like quercetin and rutin.

J. Sep. Sci. 41, 398-415 (2018). Review of analytical methods for the analysis of cannabinoids and their metabolites in cannabis, including the application of TLC and HPTLC. The review highlighted the use of automated multiple development (AMD) and optimum performance (or over-pressure) layer chromatography (OPLC) as considerable improvements to the use of classic TLC for cannabis analysis.
