Features: Digital chromatographic fingerprinting technology is a new method and technique for the identification and quality control of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) materials and prepared medicines. It applies chromatographic techniques to this complex object to obtain chromatograms and a series of experimental data. Through certain formulas, parameters are established to transform the complex chromatograms into intuitive numbers, thereby enabling the quality control and inspection of TCM. This book introduces the principles, establishment methods, formulas, and parameters of digital chromatographic fingerprinting technology. Using examples such as TCM herbs like Bupleurum, musk, rhubarb, sandalwood, Epimedium, Pinellia, and Angelica, it demonstrates the successful application of fingerprinting technology in the identification of TCM, providing a basis for further promotion and application. Additionally, it illustrates the reliability and feasibility of chromatographic fingerprinting technology in the quality control of traditional Chinese medicine preparations, such as the identification of musk, cinnamon bark, borneol, and myrrh in Muscari Protect Heart Pill, which has also been proven in the study of Scutellariae Radix and Glycyrrhizae Preparations. This book serves as a reference for TCM researchers and pharmaceutical quality control professionals.
