An in place colorimetric method has been proposed for estimation of the quantity of lactose in several matrix (milk, water effluents and surfaces). Analyzing the amount of this carbohydrate it can be control the product, the cleanliness of the parts of the dairy companies and it can avoid contamination of milk products produced there. This method combines the use of HPTLC for sugars separation with novel analytical devices as minispectrophotometer with fiber optic coupled to a smartphone. In order to measure the lactose a colorimetric reaction has been used. Variable volumes of samples or stock solutions were deposited in nano-silica gel layer, a mobile phase of acetonitrile:water:acetic acid was used for carbohydrate separation and a solution of thymol (0.05 g Thymol in 95 mL of EtOH and 5 mL H₂SO₄) was used for revealed the carbohydrate spot. Finally, the reflectance of samples and stock solutions were measured. The achieved limits of detection were 0.03 mg mL⁻¹ and 0.003 mg mL⁻¹ for the working concentration range and the analysis at traces level respectively.
