Quality • Standardization • Selection of maker compound/fingerprinting • Adulteration /misidentification
Standardization Basic needs • ACTIVE COMPOUNDS • MARKER/REFERENCE COMPOUNDS
Standardization ANALYTICS DIRECT APPLICATIONS FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS • BIO-ANALYSIS • CULTIVATION • GENETICS • ENVIRONMENTAL
Standardization DIRECT APPLICATIONS • TO DEVELOP ANALYTICAL METHODS • PRECISION, ACCURACY, SPECIFICITY, LINEARITY, • RUGGEDNESS, ROBUSTNESS • TO DEVELOP FINGERPRINTS • SEMIPREP AND PREPARATIVE ISOLATION
ANALYSIS ANALYTES
Standardization We would like to have a method Applicable to all sort of preparations includes all the desirable markers can be used for quality control can be used for efficacy measurement BUT Don’t know the nature of a preparation Don’t know the marker compounds Don’t know the active compound Don’t know about the variability of the extract.
