Microemulsion in chemical analyses by thin-layer chromatography

This review encapsulates the work which appeared in the literature during 1995–2015 on the use of microemulsion as the mobile phase in the analysis of inorganic anions and organic compounds by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Among anionic, cationic, and non-ionic surfactants used as one of the components of oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsions, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) (anionic surfactant) has been found the most...
