Abstract
An overview of opportunities of contemporary planar chromatography in pattern recognition and fingerprint analysis is presented. The most used chemometric methods are highlighted and their main advantages and drawbacks are underlined. In addition a cross section of the application of planar chromatographic fingerprinting in food, pharmaceutical, environmental, and forensic analysis is given.
