A rapid microanalytical method is described for phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone and carbamazepine utilizing high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC). This procedure incorporates a single extraction of a 50-microliter plasma sample. One tenth of the extract is concentrated and applied to the HPTLC plate by a Contact Spotter, chromatographically separated and quantitated by in situ ultraviolet reflectance densitometry. The coefficient of variation is less than 4% (n = 8), the extraction efficiency is approximately 95% and the minimum detectable amount of pure drug standards applied to and developed on the HPTLC plate is 5 ng or less for all four anticonvulsants.

The study of green analytical chemistry has garnered significant attention in the context of mitigating global environmental contamination. In this study, we present two methodologies for environmentally friendly chromatography that enable simultaneous and specific determination of Saxagliptin (SAX), metformin (MET), and a pharmacopoeial impurity of MET known as melamine (MEL). The initial method employed in this study is High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC), which utilized 60 F 254 silica gel-coated Mark HPTLC plates on aluminum sheets as the stationary phase.

Monitoring of genotoxic chemicals released into the water cycle or formed through transformation processes is critical to prevent harm to human health. The development of the high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC)-umu bioassay combines sample separation and detection of genotoxic substances in the low ng/L concentration range. In this study, raw, process, and drinking water samples from 11 different waterworks in Germany were analyzed using the HPTLC-umu.

Tea tree oil (TTO), acquired from (Maiden & Betche) Cheel, Myrtaceae, is a widely utilized essential oil (EO) due to its bioactive properties. The identification and quantification of TTO ingredients is generally performed by GC-MS, which provides the most accurate results. However, in some instances, the cost and time of analysis may pose a challenge.
