Objective: To establish the quality standard for Shenzhi Xiaoping capsules. Methods: The characteristics of Astragali Radix were identified by microscopy. TLC was adopted to identify Astragali Radix, Fructus Aurantii and Glycyrrhiza uralensis. The con-tent of ginsenoside Rb1in Panax ginseng was determined by HPLC. Results: The microscopic characteristics were obvious. The TLC spots were clear with highly specific identification and good separation. The linear range of ginsenoside Rb1was 47. 06-376. 5 μg· ml-1(r=0. 999 9), and the average recovery was 102. 7% with the RSD of 1. 1% (n=6). Conclusion: The method is simple and specific, which can be used for the quality control of Shenzhi Xiaoping capsules.
