title: [HPLC fingerprints identification of Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., P. quinquefolin L. and P. notoginseng (Burk. F. H. Chen)].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The method was established to identify Panax ginseng, P. quinquefolium and P. notoginseng.
  
  
  METHODS
  Polaris C18-A analytical column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microns); acetonitrile-water as gradient eluent, flow rate 1.5 ml.min-1, detective wavelength at 203 nm.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The fingerprints of P. ginseng, P. quinquefolium and P. notoginseng were obtained, and all ginsenosides were analyzed perfectly. The peak height ratio of ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Re was a suitable character to differentiate the three species from each other.
