Rapid quantitative analysis of phospholipid erythrocytes by densitometric thin-layer chromatography

A copper acetate spray reagent, a Silgur-25 plate composed of a layer combined Kieselguhr/Silica gel, and a "flying-spot" densitometer Vitration TLD 100 have been used for the quantitative densitometric thin-layer chromatography of principal phospholipids from human red cells. This procedure can give information quickly about the red cell abnormalities associated with modification of phospholipid metabolism.
