Ferric chloride spray detector for cholesterol and cholesteryl esters on thin-layer chromatograms.
The use of a stable solution of ferric chloride for the detection of cholesterol and cholesteryl esters on thin-layer chromatographic layers is described. Its advantages over the commonly used Carr-Price reagent are listed, and the levels of sensitivity for the new reagent are shown. Detection of other lipid classes is also possible.
