There are spring breeze blowing, summer rain, autumn frost, winter snow floating, four distinct seasons; There are pond grass green, mountain flowers red, fish out of water, birds into the forest, picturesque mountains and rivers. Please follow us into Beijing Haiyan, to see the innovative Morning bell QC team, understand their papers from the project to the publication of the wonderful four seasons!


Traditional Chinese medicine is a complex system of multi-components, and has been following the quality control mode of chemical drugs for many years. Pharmacopoeia has collected about 2,500 proprietary Chinese medicine varieties, with only a small number of fingerprint prints of proprietary Chinese medicine varieties, and only for non-volatile ingredients, there is no standard for volatile ingredients with low boiling point.


With the warm sunshine in the winter, in order to improve the quality standards of Suhuang Zhike capsules, fill the technical gaps in the industry, and ensure the uniformity and stability of drugs, Chenzhong QC team opened the research door of "establishing the determination method of volatile components fingerprint of Suhuang Zhike capsules".


In March, with the crisp singing of birds and the drizzle, the curtain of spring feast slowly opened. After punching in the morning, I first came to the office and found the paper writer Li Chao sleeping on the desk! The super brother who was woken up by me, although his eyes were full of red blood, he happily said that last night I stayed up all night to find out new lessons, analyze the principle of the instrument, and finally found six key factors: injection volume, injection port temperature, pre-column pressure, column, heating procedure, shard ratio, what method do you guess? The tree! What we've always voted against before, is such a powerful guy


Originally, because of the many factors affecting the number of chromatographic peak separation and separation effect, the members of the Morning bell QC team collectively encountered difficulties in the screening of the classification scheme, in order to successfully break through the experimental bottleneck, the members who are good at this field did not go home overnight.


Summer is the season of passion, but also the season of hard work! Our team has encountered such a problem, 168 chromatographic peaks in GC-MS detection, so many chromatographic peaks in the end which common characteristic peak is more convenient for daily detection? It was a difficult problem for the team members. Finally, the problem was simplified, searched through Nist2016 mass spectrometry database, and determined the composition of each chromatographic peak combined with manual spectral decomposition. Then, 12 chromatographic peaks with perillone peak area content >0.01% were calibrated as common peaks, and then verified whether the fingerprint could be established. Through a lot of experiments, we finally achieved our goal.


Subsequently, after rounds of fierce competition on the battlefield of the 40th National pharmaceutical industry QC paper publication exchange meeting, we were finally awarded the "First prize of results publication".
