ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To explore the relationship between several common traits-identify characteristics of decoction pieces and laboratory test results,and improve the efficiency and accuracy of line inspection work. METHODS:Combined with the Chi-nese Pharmacopoeia(2010 edition)standards and traditional inspection experience,and collected decoction pieces,the accuracy of traits-identification points were inferred and increased by the ways of TLC,contents,aggravated powder,sulfur dioxide residues , staining and extract. RESULTS:The majority of decoction pieces had the relationship between character identification points and laboratory test results and a small part didn’t. CONCLUSIONS:This study has cleared the identification accuracy of several com-mon decoction pieces,and other parts of the differential diagnosis needs further exploration.
