The Chinese Chapter of the HPTLC Association congratulates the Chinese Pharmacopoeia Commission for the publication of its TLC Atlas Vol 3
By Candy Tang (Secretary General of the China Chapter) and Débora Frommenwiler
The Chinese Pharmacopoeia published the new TLC atlas for the quality control of Chinese herbal drugs. It contains more than hundreds of illustrated (HP)TLC methods!
The new TLC Atlas Vol 3 is a sequel to the volumes 1 and 3, published in 2009. It was organized and sponsored by Chinese Pharmacopoeia Commission, and executed by Shanghai R&D Center for Standardization of Chinese Medicines. Nikyang Enterprise Ltd. participated in this project providing technical support and parts of TLC instrument for the atlas compiling.
This volume is a bilingual edition in Chinese and English. Besides including TLC/HPTLC methods for the 109 most common Chinese herbal medicines, this atlas contains illustrations of the (HP)TLC chromatograms, performed by at least 3-4 analysts, according to the Pharmacopoeial standards. It is definitely a good source of methods, if you need to identify Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) drugs.
We believe that with our joint efforts, HPTLC will help more people and more effectively.
