DART-MS: A new research tool for herbal medicine analysis

Direct analysis in real time (DART) possesses the merits of analyzing sample in its native status with minimal or even no sample pretreatment. In this review, we summarized the recent applications of DART in the field of herbal medicine analysis such as compound detection, species identification, metabolites profiling and initial quantification. DART with the characters of hyper-rapid, easy-hyphenated offers a new research tool for herbal medicines to complete the experimental process in a very simple but still reliable way. It is anticipated that more wide and deep applications of DART in herbal medicine analysis, as rapid quantification, high-throughput active compounds screening, rapid species identification, and fast illegal additives screening will be promising and foreseeable in the near future.
