J. Chromatogr. Libr. 54, 141-251 (1993). Review with 540 references on TLC analysis of mycotoxins, involving sampling, sample preparation, extraction and clean-up, adsorbents and solvent systems, detection, quantification, etc.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 7, 265-272 (1994). Review of the advances in the applications of TLC and HPTLC for the separation, detection, and qualitative and quantitative determination of pesticides and related compounds published and/or abstracted between late 1990 and early 1994 with 138 literature references. Analysis of a variety of sample matrices for residues of pesticides of various types, including insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides, belonging to different chemical classes are covered. The use of radio-TLC for pesticide metabolism, uptake, and degradation studies is also reviewed.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 9, 236-246 (1996). Selective review - 94 references - of sixty years of literature covering thin layer chromatographic analysis of inorganic and organometallic compounds, limited to work performed on alumina layers as adsorbent. Of all the inorganic sorbents alumina is second to silica in frequency of use.

Anal. Chem. 74, 2653-2662 (2002). This reviews covers the literature of TLC and HPTLC found by computer-assisted searching in Chemical Abstracts and the ICI Web of Science from November 1, 1999 to November 1, 2001. 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. Publications in the past 2 years on the history, theory, methodology, instrumentation, and applications of TLC are discussed. 198 references are listed.
