Densitometry of Lipids with Iodine Staining on HPTLC

Abstract
Scanning densitometers, equipped with the flying spot or meander principle of measurement were used to study the partition of iodine vapors Co various lipid classes, such as phospholipids and triacylglycerols. The purpose was to use the densitometer for in situ quantitation of spots on thin layer plates. It was found that the soft visualization procedure of iodine vapors could be applied to the densitometrie evaluation.
