title: [A study on quality standard for herba cistanches].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish the quality standard for Herba Cistanches.
  
  
  METHODS
  A qualitative identification method by TLC was established for five kinds of active components(acteoside, echinacoside, cistanoside A, betaine and mannitol) and RP-HPLC was used to quantify the acteoside contents.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Qualitative and quantitative analyses were carried out for fourteen kinds of Herba Cistanches and eleven kinds of Yinpian. This method is accurate, reliable and of good separability and reproducibility.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This method can be applied as standard for the quality control of cistanche deserticola.
