Identification of traditional Chinese medicine scorpio by powder X-ray diffraction Fourier pattern / 中国医学科学院学报

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To set up a new analysis method of the traditional Chinese medicine Scorpio.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Ten Scorpio samples were obtained from Hubei, Shaanxi, and Shandong provinces and analyzed with X-ray diffraction Fourier pattern technique to obtain the geometric topology and characteristic marked peak of Scorpio.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The geometric topologies of 9 samples were similar, excepting Sample 7#. Totally 11 characteristic marked peaks were observed among these 9 samples.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>X-ray diffraction Fourier pattern is a useful tool for the identification and quality control of the Scorpio.</p>
