β¦ Synopsis
A qualitative method has been devised to analyse the indigo precursors in leaf extracts of woad (Isatis spp.) using HPLC coupled to an evaporative light scattering detector and confirmed using HPLC coupled, on line, to a particle beam mass spectrometer. Using this technique, indican has been positively identified in shoot extracts of European (I. tinctoria) and Chinese (I. indigotica) woad. Greater amounts of indican were found in the Chinese compared with the European woad.

## Abstract A novel method, HPLCβMS/MS was developed to qualitatively identify and quantitatively determine the 28 components including 19 diterpenoids, 6 phenolic acids and 3 flavonoids in __Isodon rubescens__, an important traditional Chinese medicine. The separation was performed on a C~18~ colu
