Quantitative Analysis of Indicator Components in Herbal Medicines

The analysis of the components of herbal medicines consists of qualitative analysis, impurity checking, and quantitative analysis. Due to the complexity and diversity of the components they contain and the interaction of these components, the main physiologically active chemical components are usually used as indicators in herbal quality control and evaluation studies. The determination of the indicator components in herbal medicine quality evaluation is one of the critical issues in herbal medicine quality standard studies. Therefore Lifeasible offers efficient and reliable assay technology for the analysis of a wide range of herbal medicine indicator components, which will help you in your pharmacological studies and quality control of herbal preparations and herbal materials.

• Complexity. The chemical composition of herbal medicines is complex, including various organic and inorganic substances, and there may be multiple congeners with similar properties.
• Non-single nature. The therapeutic effects produced by herbal medicines are not the result of a single component acting alone but of a multi-component, multi-target effect.

Based on quantitative fingerprinting technology

Quantitative fingerprinting technology is a herbal quality control model that combines fingerprinting technology with quantitative analysis of multiple indicator components, highlighting the indicator components while taking into account trace components and the overall quality of the herb, making herbal quality control more rapid, comprehensive, accurate, and reliable. We have now demonstrated its robustness in the quality control of a wide range of herbal materials.

We have established quantitative fingerprinting by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) and used high-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS) to identify the characteristic peaks in the fingerprints, further determine the content of several of the significant active ingredients using quantitative fingerprinting methods, analyze the quantitative value of the beverage tablets to the reference samples. The method is simple, accurate and reliable. The method is simple, accurate, and reliable.

Selection of indicator components for quantitative analysis

• A single component was used as the object of study. Indicators with high content and clear pharmacological activity, and whose content indicates the quality of the herbal material, were selected. The quantitative analysis of herbal materials using these components has a certain degree of acceptance and authority.
• The multi-component approach to the study. It overcomes the shortcomings of single-component quantitative analysis and enables a comprehensive and systematic multi-component quantitative analysis of herbal materials.

Lifeasible has developed a method that provides a more accurate, scientific, comprehensive, and quantitative representation of the indicator components in herbal samples. Please feel free to contact us to start your quality study of herbal samples.
