| Sumario: | Thirty-five years ago, Professors Rudolf Kaiser and Szabolcs Nyiredy launched the “Journal for Planar Chromatography – Modern TLC,” better known as JPC. Later, on the occasion of JPC’s first 20 years, Prof. Kaiser made a parallel between this beautiful age of the human being and the development of the journal. In his editorial, he highlighted that high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) was the most appropriate technique for cases in which the complexity of mixtures is too critical for classical column separations, and that it was the best analytical technique for optimizing production, because it can be simple, performed quickly, and very economical, without forgetting that it always uses a clean stationary phase free from memory effects. Likewise, he highlighted the important advances in pharmaceutical quality control, for environmental analysis, and for analysis of many highly complicated natural products.
