Abstract: The aim of this study was to establish an inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry(ICP-MS) method for the simultaneous analysis of inorganic elements in Xanthii Herba from different areas and commercial resources.The quantitative analysis of 24 inorganic elements in 12 samples were detected.They were used for cluster and principal component analysis by SPSS16.0.The results showed that the contents of Ca,K,Mg,P,Fe were high,the heavy metals and harmful elements should be cause for concern.Five principal components were selected by principal component analysis and Ca,K,Sr,Fe,Al,V,Mg,Ba,Mn were determined to be the characteristic inorganic elements.The results of this experiment provided the basis for quality control and safety evaluation of Xanthii Herba.

Key words: Xanthii Herba, producing area, commercial herb, inorganic element, ICP-MS
