TLC separation of amino acids with a green mobile phase

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) of fifteen amino acids was performed using silica gel and alumina impregnated with micellar solutions of cetrimide and cetylpyridinium chloride as stationary phases and aqueous solutions of dextrose as mobile phases. TLC system comprising of silica gel impregnated with micellar solution of cetrimide (5.0 mM) as stationary phase and 40% ( w/v ) aqueous solution of dextrose as mobile phase was found the most...
