Objective: To establish an accurate method for the determination of astragaloside Ⅳ in Paichuan Tablets. Method: Diamonsil C18(4.6 mm×250 mm,5 μm),with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-H2O(32 ∶68),the detector is Evaporative Light-scattering Detector,The drift tube temperture of 50 ℃,the flow rate was 1.0 mL ·min-1. Result :A good linearity of astragaloside Ⅳ was obtained within the range of 0.41~2.45 μg, the average recovery was 100.04% and RSD was 0.14%. Conclusion :The method was simple and accurate, and can be used for the quality control of Paichuan Tablets.
