General description

Molybdenum Blue reagent is suitable for use in the detection of phospholipids and related compounds.

Application

For use in the detection of phospholipids and related compounds.
Molybdenum Blue reagent may be used for the determination of phosphatidylglycerol and the lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio in biological samples and phospholipids in Halobellus by using single-dimension thin-layer chromatography (TLC) method and high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), respectively.

We describe a single-dimension thin-layer chromatographic method by which one can simultaneously determine the lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio and the proportion of phosphatidylglycerol in amniotic fluid. The phospholipids are conveniently detected by an improved molybdenum-blue spray reagent, which immediately produces blue spots
