The second HPTLC Symposium at ICSB, Oxford, brought together six expert speakers to share recent advances and emerging perspectives in HPTLC. The meeting featured presentations addressing current challenges and innovations in HPTLC applications, particularly in the areas of botanical authentication, analytical standardization, and bioautography. Each contribution offered a distinct perspective, collectively illustrating how the field is evolving from classical fingerprint-based interpretation toward more data-driven and integrative approaches.
It was also a great opportunity for the NA HPTLC Association Chapter to meet the President of the Francophone Chapter, Dr. Maël Gainche, who was one of the symposium speakers. The event also provided an excellent platform to initiate discussions on potential collaborations between the two chapters
