Review of advances in planar chromatography-mass spectrometry published in the period 2015–2019

One of the most important contributions to the analysis of mixtures using TLC/HPTLC has been the interface device allowing for direct elution of the sample spots from the developed TLC/HPTLC plate directly into a mass spectrometer. This is a review of more recent papers using this technology in various fields since 2015. Applications covered include caffeine in energy drinks, the anti-cancer drug ifosfamide, estrogens, lichen metabolites,...
