This paper highlights the status of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) of mycotoxins in various sample matrices. The outstanding merits of TLC in the field of the qualitative and quantitative determination of mycotoxins have been briefed. A comparison between different TLC methods and TLC with HPLC, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and GC methods, etc. is made, in general.

Advances in the applications of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance TLC for the separation, detection, identification, and determination of pesticides, other agrochemicals, and related compounds are reviewed for the period 2000-2002. Analyses are described for a variety of samples, such as food, biological, and environmental samples, and for residues of pesticides of various ty...

Free porphyrins, especially copro-, uro-, and protoporphyrin, were successfully separated by talc thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and were determined from the relationship of the weight and the area of porphyrins in the spot on the thin-layer plate. The results obtained from both the solvent extraction and the simple, rapid TLC method reported in this paper showed good correlation for copropor...

Determination of sildenafil by various methods and in various media is reviewed in this paper. The methods used consist of ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, thin layer chromatography (TLC), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These methods were used to determine the amount of sildenafil in pharmaceutical preparations, soft drinks, and biological liquids. HPLC was used for evaluation...

Among various meanings of TLC like The Last Cigarette—a smoking cessation program that offers numerous resources and tools to assist smokers in their quit efforts, there is also Thin Layer Chromatography, an analytical technique, which can be useful to check the process of quitting smoking and allow to observe differences in nicotine metabolism. The task of this research was checking sufficienc...

This article reviews the use of chromatography for the separation and comparison of ink components. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is the standard chromatographic procedure presently employed for the comparison of inks. Thin layer chromatography systems are described for the separation of different types of ink. The greater sensitivity and resolution offered by high performance liquid chromato...

This is a review of analytical methods, such as spectrophotometry, derivative spectrophotometry and various chromatographic (gas chromatography-GC, high-performance liquid chromatography-HPLC, thin-layer chromatography-TLC, high-performance thin-layer chromatography-HPTLC, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-LC-MS, microchip electrophoresis-MCE, capillary electrophoresis-CE) and elec...

H and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were recorded at 400 MHz on a Bruker ARX-400 NMR spectrometer (Germany) with tetramethylsilane as internal standard. Column chromatography was performed using Merck (Germany) silica gel (230-400 mesh). Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was performed using Merck silica gel GF254, 0.25 mm thickness. For visualization, TLC plates were placed under aci...
