Features: High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is characterized by high separation efficiency, fast analysis speed, high sensitivity, good stability and reproducibility, wide selectivity of mobile phases, various detector types, and reusable columns. It has become one of the important methods for studying the fingerprints of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). HPLC fingerprints have been widely applied in the quality evaluation, standardized cultivation, and drug development of TCM. This book collects HPLC fingerprints of 44 commonly used TCMs, some intermediates, and compound preparations in recent years, with a total of 87 fingerprint figures. Each herb includes the name of the herb, its botanical origin, production area, chemical components, experimental materials, solution preparation, chromatographic conditions, testing methods, fingerprints, and analysis and evaluation. The book is divided into three parts: General Introduction, Specific Topics, and Appendices, with three-dimensional HPLC fingerprint color illustrations at the end. The content of the book is detailed, methods are specific, and the text is well-supported by figures, making it easier to promote the application of HPLC fingerprint technology in practical work. It provides valuable reference for workers engaged in TCM quality identification, resource development, drug development, and other related quality research.
