This work is a review on HPTLC contribuon to lipid analysis in complex matrices, in the period from 2010 to now, lapse of me where hyphenaon with other techniques, especially Mass Spectrometry, has experienced an important growth.Scanning densitometry (SD)-UV/FL of separated lipids, as the core of detecon and centerpiece for hyphenaon, and its coupling with MS using so ionizaon techniques (ESI, APCI, MALDI, DESI and others), are the central axis of this work. The occasional intercalaon in this coupling of an on-plate biological assay for eect-direct analysis (EDA) of lipids, as well as the combinaon of SD with radiodensitometry (RD) using isotopically labeled-lipids are also covered topics.The described techniques make possible to develop strategies for obtaining qualitave and dierent levels of quantave informaon, including untargeted lipids species.HPTLC of lipids has been used for: comparave purposes; ngerprinng; semi-quantave determinaon, idencaon of species; or quantave determinaon of a given individual lipid. Goals in molecular biology and biochemistry-related samples have been: preparave isolaons; control of purity; vericaon of metabolic products; on-plate biological assays; proles in cells; analysis of products from the cellular metabolism; measurement of enzymac acvies; monitoring lipid transport across membranes or at biological interfaces; or monitoring lipid dynamics.
