Determination of elements in six traditional Chinese medicines using ICP-OES method
Objective:To establish a ICP -OES method for the determination of elements in six traditional Chinese medicines. Method:The samples were digested by closed –versel microwave. The four elements were directly analyzed by ICP -OES. Result: For all of the analyzed elements, the correlative coefficient of the calibration curves was over 0.9998. The recovery rates of the procedure were 90.2%to 108.4%, and its RSD was lower than 10.9%. Conclusion: This method was quick -acquired, accurate and convenient. The method can be used for the quality control of elements in traditional Chinese medicines.
