THIN-LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY OF AMINO ACIDS: A REVIEW

Thin-layer chromatography is a versatile separation technique and is compatible to almost all types of compounds available in nature. This review presents numerous chromatographic systems developed for the analysis of amino acids. The stationary phases, solvent systems, and detection reagents used by the various chromatographers are incorporated in this review. From the available literature, it is obvious that amino acids have been greatly analyzed by thin-layer chromatography.
