China Botanic Pharmaceutical Completes Research on the Chromatographic Fingerprints for Its Siberian Ginseng Series Products

The fingerprint technology discerns the so-called forensic "fingerprint" of herbal medicine components using advanced techniques including chromatographic or spectral profiling. The profile can be used to identify different species, families, genera, and cultivars of medicinal herbs, permitting reliable authentication and quality control for herbal materials.

The data developed during the work, which was completed in collaboration with Harbin Pharmaceutical Group's Traditional Chinese Medicine No. 2 Factory, will be used by the Company to continue to improve and strengthen the quality of its Siberian Ginseng offerings.

Chinese medicine has a long history and its safety and effectiveness has been verified. However, Chinese medicines are generally administered as compounds, and the active ingredients of the medicine can be extremely complex. Under current conditions, a single chemical analysis method is not suitable for analyzing Chinese medicines and chromatographic fingerprinting technology is a significant step forward. The approach gives a full picture of the traditional Chinese medicine and its ingredients. With the fingerprint established, more reliable and consistent quality control can be implemented.  This opens the way for even greater acceptance of TCMs worldwide.

"It is a breakthrough innovation for us to study and establish fingerprints for our Siberian Ginseng series products," said Mr. Shaoming Li, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Botanic.  "Quality control is the key to the effectiveness of our depression remedies, which are relied on by people throughout China for their proven relief of neurological conditions. We have invested heavily in our production processes and this leap forward is another example of the dedication of the China Botanic team to producing the best quality herbal medicines available anywhere."
