[Identification of traditional Chinese medicine scorpio by powder X-ray diffraction Fourier pattern].
OBJECTIVE
To set up a new analysis method of the traditional Chinese medicine Scorpio.


METHODS
Ten Scorpio samples were obtained from Hubei, Shaanxi, and Shandong provinces and analyzed with X-ray diffraction Fourier pattern technique to obtain the geometric topology and characteristic marked peak of Scorpio.


RESULTS
The geometric topologies of 9 samples were similar, excepting Sample 7#. Totally 11 characteristic marked peaks were observed among these 9 samples.


CONCLUSIONS
X-ray diffraction Fourier pattern is a useful tool for the identification and quality control of the Scorpio.
