High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) is a widely used, fast and relatively
inexpensive method of separating complex mixtures. It is particularly useful for smaller …

Although matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS)–
often but not exclusively coupled with a time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzer–is primarily …

One decade after the genomic and the proteomic life science revolution, new 'omics' fields
are emerging. The metabolome encompasses the entity of small molecules—Most often end …

The number and type of atmospheric pressure techniques suitable for sampling analytes
from surfaces, forming ions from these analytes, and subsequently transporting these ions …

Plasmalogens are a specific glycerophospholipid class containing a vinyl ether moiety at the
sn-1-position of the glycerol backbone. The high susceptibility of this vinyl ether bond to …

This review is focused on planar chromatography and especially on its most important
subcategory high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC). The image-giving …

Coupling of planar chromatography to mass spectrometry (MS) and especially ambient MS
is a relatively new field of great interest. The direct sample access at ambient conditions and …

Because of the emergence of dried blood spots (DBS) as an attractive alternative to
conventional venous plasma sampling in many pharmaceutical companies and clinical …

Thin layer chromatography (TLC)—a simple, cost-effective, and easy-to-operate planar
chromatographic technique—has been used in general chemistry laboratories for several …

An on-surface multi-purpose autosampler was built for liquid chromatography− mass
