[Establishment of comprehensive fingerprint database of traditional Chinese herbs].
Quality control of traditional Chinese herbs by fingerprint is being paid close attention in these years. A database software has been designed and built to store these fingerprints and other relevant information. The use of this database is very simple and convenient for ordinary analysts who have no experience on professional database software. This software could be used under many kinds of operation systems such as Windows 95, 98, 2000 and Windows NT 4.0, 5.0. By now, nearly 30 fingerprints and their relevant information of ten kinds of traditional Chinese herbs have been input into this database, and the number of fingerprints in this base will be continuously increased in the future. This database is helpful for the analysis and quality control of traditional Chinese herbs.
