title: [Study on the fingerprint of Morus alba from different habitats by HPLC].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish HPLC fingerprint of Morus alba from different habitats by HPLC and provide basis for its quality control.
  
  
  METHODS
  HPLC analysis was performed on an Agilent XDB C18 Column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm), gradient eluted composed of acetonitrile and 0.3% phosphate acid. The column temperature was set at 35 degrees C and the flow rate was 0.5 mL/min. The detective wavelength was 290 nm. The HPLC fingerprint for 10 batches of Morus alba was studied on their similarity.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were twelve common peaks in the fingerprint. The similarity of 7 batches was above 0.9 and the other batches had low similarity.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The HPLC fingerprint can be used for quality control of Morus alba with high characteristics and specificity.
