title: Rapid screening of lipid metabolism in monolayer cell cultures.
abstract: Monolayer cell cultures grown on coverslips in the presence of radioactive lipid precursors were embedded in silica gel layers for extraction and resolution of the labelled products directly by thin-layer chromatography. The method permits rapid screening of lipid metabolism in tissue cultures with a small number of cells.
