Objective To establish a method for the determination of five residual solvents in scutellarin. Methods Head-space gas chromatography was established, the chromatographic column was DB-1301(30m×0.32mm×1.0μm), the carrier gas was N2, the detector was FID, temperature was controlled by program and the solvent was N, N-Dimethylacetamide(DMA). Results Five residual solvents were completely separated. A good linearity(r=0.9939~0.9999)was obtained. The detection limits of methanol, ethanol, acetone, dichloromethane and DMF were 0.875, 1.338, 1.132, 1.528, 10.56μg·mL-1 respectively;the RSDs of precision were less than 2%; the average recovery rates of the preparation were in the range of 99.15%~103.32%. Conclusion The method is simple, sensitive, accurate and can be used for the quality control of scutellarin.
