After developing, the plate was heated at 105 ºC for 30 min and then cooled at room temperature. Detection by spraying with 1 % solution of 2,6-di-chloro-para-chloro benzoquinine imine in ethanol. The hRF values for (1) to (4) were 10, 65, 37 and 14, respectively.

      Effects of starvation for 4-20 days on the amino acid content of Biomphalaria glabrata as determined by cellulose HPTLC-densitometry with confirmation of identity using silica gel and RP-18 W plates with two mobile phases causing inversion of the separati
      E. ARMOUR, B. FRIED, J. SHERMA* (*Department of Chemistry, Lafayette College, 326 Hugel Science Center, 701 Sullivan Road, Easton, PA 18042, shermaj@lafayette.edu)

      J. Liq. Chromatogr. Relat. Technol. 41, 373-376 (2018). HPTLC of 22 amino acids in the cultures of control and starved Biomphalaria glabrata snails on cellulose plates with 2-butanol – pyridine – acetic acid – water 39:34:10:26. Detection by spraying with 2 % ninhydrin solution in n-butanol – acetone 1:1, followed by heating at 110 ºC for 10 min. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 610 nm. Samples were also analyzed on RP-18 with water – methanol 3:7 with addition of 100 mM formic acid in the bonded phase normal phase mode and water – methanol 7:3 with the addition of 100 mM trifluoroacetic acid in the bonded phase reversed phase mode. Although better separation results were obtained with the cellulose plates, an excellent separation of the pair Ile and Leu with the RP-18 W was noted.
