ABSTRACT
The purpose of this chapter is to present advances in the techniques and applications of steroid thin-layer chromatography (TLC) starting with late 1993, the last year covered in the chapters on this topic in the first and second editions of this Handbook (1, 2). Readers are referred to these earlier chapters for detailed discussions and extensive tabular data on sample preparation, layers, mobile phases, detection, identification, quantification, and applications of steroid TLC based on papers published up to 1994. The references given in this chapter are not comprehensive but were chosen selectively to update the material presented in the earlier editions.
