“…Among the chromatographic methods, HPTLC has been considerably improved in recent years being appreciated in food, biological and pharmaceutical areas [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. By the application of powerful scanning instruments, advanced image capturing devices, advanced image processing algorithms and image analysis (IA) protocols, development of novel stationary phases, as well as various separation procedures, HPTLC fingerprinting approaches becoming attractive and fruitful for screening of the complex natural samples [ 24 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. In addition to the advantage of multiple parallel sample analysis on the same chromatographic plate and possibility of development in more than one steps using different chromatographic conditions and/or in two directions, HPTLC is the only chromatographic method that offers the possibility to present results as different colorful images by multiple levels of visualization under visible and UV light conditions under 366 nm and/or 254 nm.…”
