Development of quality control parameters for two Bhutanese medicinal plants (Aster flaccidus Bunge and Aster diplostephioides (DC.) Benth. ex C.B.Clarke) using traditional and modern pharmacognostical platforms

“…The current use is limited to the development of fingerprints for identification, visual observation of chemical markers, and detection of adulterations and falsifications [ 57 ]. For this study, we followed the HPTLC method described by Wangchuk and Jamtsho [ [37] , [38] , [39] ] to obtain the fingerprints of the two Aster species, as shown in Fig. 4 below.…”

“…The HPTLC sample preparation and profile development was conducted following the methods described by Wangchuk and Jamtsho [ [37] , [38] , [39] ]. The instrumentation system (CAMAG®, Muttenz, Switzerland) consisted of a DigiStore2 digital system along with winCATS software ver.1.4.3 (CAMAG®, Muttenz, Switzerland), automatic developing chamber CAMAG ADC2, a Linomat 5 sample applicator with 100 μL syringes, and twin trough chambers (Analtech, USA).…”
