ABSTRACT

Objective To determine the content of heavy metals and harmful elements in commercially available Yuanhu Zhitong Capsule. Methods The determination of lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, copper and chromium by atomic absorption spectrometry and atomic fluorescence spectrometry was established.Results The recovery rate of the method was between 91.2% and 111.2%, and the precision of the experiment was less than 5%, and the range of each element was good.The stability and reproducibility of the method were good.Lead and cadmium and copper of Yuanhu zhitong capsule in different degree exceeded the standard, while the content of arsenic, mercury and chromium was in accordance with the requirements. Conclusion The method is simple and easy to operate, convenient and quick.The content of the current limit of Yuanhu zhitong capsule still need to establish the quality standard of lead and cadmium, arsenic, mercury, copper and chromium.In this paper, the establishment of the heavy metals and harmful elements determination method of Yuanhu zhitong capsule provide quality control and safety evaluation of reference.
