title: [Rapid identification and preliminary study of fragmentation regularity of saponins components of ginseng].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study a method for rapidly identifying the saponions components in Ginseng and explore the fragmentation regularity.
  
  
  METHODS
  Used ACQUITY UPLC/Q-TOF micro system gradient elute wirh 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate-acetonitrile mobile phase under the ESI negative mode; Data were analyzed by Masslynx 4.1 software.
  
  
  RESULTS
  30 kinds of saponins in Ginseng were analyzed and identified by UPLC/Q-TOF-MS, and the fragmentation regularity of ginseng saponins components were explored.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A analysis method is established for rapid identification of saponin components.
