Ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC),
as a development of the chromatographic technique, was used in
the quality control of Panax ginseng C.A. Mey. In the study,
the UPLC methods were transferred from conventional high-performance
liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods according to chromatographic
equations. The results demonstrated that UPLC analysis methods
could be transferred from HPLC without loss of efficiency. Compared
with conventional HPLC, UPLC made a surprising 10-fold increase
in speed and 20-fold decrease in solvent consumption. The study
indicated UPLC as a suitable alternative to HPLC and can be reliably
applied to quality control of traditional Chinese medicines.
