Methods of capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) were developed for the establishment of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) fingerprints of cornus officinalis, which demonstrated the advantage of capillary electrophoresis used in TCM quality (control for) its high separation performance,fast analysis and low cost. The CZE optimization conditions are buffer solution 50 mmol/L sodium tetraborate acid with pH9.5,uncoated fused-silica capillary 54 cm (5...
