[Analysis of Chinese drug beimu and its fake species with clustering analysis and FTIR spectra].
OBJECTIVE
To identify Chinese drug Beimu from its fake species.


METHODS
IR spectra was obtained by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and clustering analysis was adopted for authentication.


RESULTS
There were significant differences between Beimu and its fake species.


CONCLUSIONS
The established method was quick, sensitive and accurate. It could be used for the differentiation of different species of Beimu materials and their fake species.
