Quality analysis of herbal medicine products prepared from Herba sarcandrae by capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection

A capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection(CE-ED) method was developed for the quality analysis of herbal medicine products prepared from the same herb of Herba Sarcandrae: Fufang Caoshanhu tablets, Qingrexiaoyanning capsules, and Xuekang oral liquids. Under the optimal analysis conditions, the low detection limit[1.0x10(-7) mol/L(S/N=3)] and the wide linear range(1.0x10(-7)-1.0x10(-4) mol/L) were obtained for quality standard compound of isofraxidin. The precisions of the peak current and the migration time(as RSDs) for the real sample analysis were 2.0%-2.6%, and 1.2%-1.8% for isofraxidin, respectively.
