Planar Chromatogr. 26, 463-469 (2013). 2D TLC fingerprint of Helleborus thibetanus Franch on polyamide with chloroform - ethyl acetate - methanol 15:40:22 in the first dimension and isooctane - n-propyl alcohol - water 20:5:1 + 0.28 M sodium dodecyl sulfate in the second dimension, developing distances were 70 mm for both. Detection under UV 366 nm. Nine zones were detected for the identification of Helleborus thibetanus Franch.

J. Liq. Chromatogr. Relat. Technol. 37, 2021-2035 (2014). HPTLC of thirteen 5-arylidene-2,4-thiazolidinediones on RP-18 with one of six organic solvents: acetonitrile (with increasing acetonitrile content from 55% to 75%), methanol (60–90%), ethanol (40–70%), propanol (35–55%), acetone (55–75%), and dioxane (50–70%) with each modifier in increasing steps of 5%. A quantitative structure-retention relationship study allowed to investigate the retention behavior of these substances.
