hello, i have to estimate plant callus flavonoids and i have not Al (Cl3) that's all by the way can we use an other reagent (to substitute Neu) in flavonoids revelation in TLC thanks
We use to follow protocol using aluminium chloride for estimation of flavonoids in our lab. Since you asked for an alternate method, I saw an article in net related to this. Please visit the following link which may help you.
I used a methodology similar to this (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2992136/) using NaNO2 but all precipitates by adding NaOH. What could be happening?
