title: [Quality analysis of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae from different habitats by HPLC and TLC].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze and compare the composition of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae from different habitats by HPLC and TLC.
  
  
  METHODS
  The fingerprints of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae were detected by HPLC and TLC.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Radix Salviae Miltiorrhiza collected from different habitats showed diverse fingerprints of component. The content of tanshinone II A of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae in Shandong was the highest, which is 3.5 times higher than Shangluo of Shanxi province.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The character of two analytical mehods with fingerprint of component is significant, simplicity, and reproducibility is great. The methods can be used to select Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae for clinical and resarch institution.
