  • Title: Thin-layer chromatography for separation of phospholipids in amniotic fluid.
    Author: Ilekis J, Auletta FJ, Scommegna A, Benveniste R.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1981 Jul; 58(1):107-10. PubMed ID: 7243137.
    Abstract:
    A method using a 1-dimensional, thin-layer chromatographic technique for the separation of phospholipids in amniotic fluid is described. The phospholipids of major importance in evaluating fetal lung maturity were separated: sphingomyelin, lecithin, and, notably, phosphatidylglycerol. Preliminary clinical results correlate the increasing appearance of phosphatidylglycerol with increasing lecithin : sphingomyelin ratios.
