J. Planar Chromatogr. 9, 318-360 (1996). Review of data published during 1973-1994 on TLC of inorganic species presenting the types of stationary phase, mobile phase, and technique involved in the separation, identification , and determination of inorganic substances present either singly or as components of closely related mixtures in a variety of matrices. In most cases TLC in combination with other sophisticated analytical techniques is used for quantitative analysis.

Anal. Chem. 72, 9R-25R (2000). Selective review of the literature of TLC and HPTLC in Chemical Abstracts from November 1, 1997 to November 1, 1999. The literature search was augmented by consulting Analytical Abstracts, Chemical Titles and Current Contents, 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.

J. of Chromatogr. A 1218 (19), 2684-2691 (2011). Review on TLC/bioautography. Discussion of three versions of bioautography, i.e. contact, immersion and direct bioautography. The focus is put on direct bioautography and many applications are quoted, not only for testing various groups of compounds, but also for investigating biochemical processes and factors influencing bacterial growth. Various related methods can be included into direct bioautography, of which TLC-bioluminescence screening is the most promising one.

J. AOAC Int. 93, 754-764 (2010). The review describes analytical methods for drug substances, formulations, and clinical samples analyzed and validated by HPTLC during the period 1996-2009. Procedures, materials, and instrumentation for the different steps in the chromatographic procedure and validation of results are given; application to bulk drugs, formulations, stability studies, biological samples (e.g., urine and plasma), and hydrophobicity studies; and prospects for the future use of HPTLC for drug analysis are described. The sections cover the experimental procedures (sample preparation, stationary phases, mobile phases, application of standards and samples, chromatogram development, detection, documentation of chromatograms, densitometric quantitative analysis), determination of hydrophobicity, confirmation of zone identity, method validation, chiral separations, micropreparative layer chromatography, applications of HPTLC-densitometry, and future prospects for HPTLC in drug analysis. 155 references are reviewed.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 25, 208-213 (2012). The phenomenom of lateral relocation in the migration tracks of chiral analytes was reviewed as a retention fundamentals in TLC. By employing silica gel plates and others impregnated with L-arginine and DL-arginine, the non-linear motion of (±)-2-phenylpropionic acid was studied. TLC on impregnated or non-impregnated silica gel (pre-washed by development with methanol – water 9:1) with acetonitrile - methanol - water 20:4:3. For plates impregnated with arginine, the mobile phase additionally contained 0.5 % (v/v) glacial acetic acid to set the pH to < 5.
