Great news:“Photoluminescent detection method for irradiated traditional Chinese medicine”International standards have been implemented in Guangzhou

Recently, international standards“ISO 22256:2020Traditional Chinese Medicine—Photoluminescent detection method for irradiated traditional Chinese medicine”By the International Organization for Standardization（ISO）Issued in English, this standard was developed under the leadership of Guangzhou Institute of Drug Control and is the first in China's drug supervision and management systemISOInternational standards for traditional Chinese medicine.

It is reported that cobalt60Radiation is a sterilization technology that kills microorganisms and ensures safe use. In order to meet the microbial limit indicators, some traditional Chinese medicine production enterprises skip strict quality control and regard radiation as the final treatment“Methods of passing the level”This poses potential risks to the effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine.

from2010Since the beginning of the year, Guangzhou Institute of Drug Control has carried out scientific research and development, and through major new drug creation research projects, has established a photoluminescence detection method that can identify whether traditional Chinese medicine has been irradiated. This method has simple equipment, easy operation, and is easy to promote internationally, laying the foundation for the scientific supervision of irradiated traditional Chinese medicine in the future. This standard has been included in the National Center for Drug Evaluation2015 The draft of the "Guiding Principles for Radiation Sterilization Technology of Traditional Chinese Medicine" issued in [year] for soliciting opinions.

Regarding the establishment and promotion of the irradiation detection method, Guangzhou Institute of Drug Control has led multiple national, provincial, and municipal scientific research projects, and relevant scientific research achievements have been recognized2015Third Prize of Guangzhou Science and Technology Award.2011year to2020During the years, the Guangzhou Institute of Drug Control applied this technology to“Huoxue Zhitong Capsules”、“Niuhuang Anti inflammatory Tablets”、“Shujin Huoxue Tablets”wait12Exploratory research on national evaluation sampling of individual varieties, for828Batch samples undergo radiation screening, making a positive contribution to improving the quality and safety of traditional Chinese medicine.
