title: [Application of evaporative light-scattering detector in analysis of the active constituents in Chinese herbal medicine].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To review the application of Evaporative Light-Scattering Detector in analysis of the active constituents in Chinese herbal medicine.
  
  
  METHODS
  Papers on the assay of the active compounds of Chinese herbal medicine by HPLC-ELSD method were collected.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Evaporative Light-Scattering Detector has been widely used in assaying the compounds which have no UV absorption or when wavelengths for maximal UV absorption are under 200 nm in natural products.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Evaporative Light-Scattering Detector will have a more widely application in analysis of constituents in Chinese herbal medicine.
