At the very least, you will need LC/MS, GC/MS & MS/MS capabilities.

You should also have experience working on complicated mixtures, a background in organic chemistry and....

Hi,

First, screen for basic compounds like alkaloids, glycosides etc... using a classical qualitative method.

Second, run a TLC with know compounds, this is an infinite process so deriving the data from the application of the herbal formulation is helpful.

Once, you have a hit, you are done. The best method is to use LC-MS  or MS-MS and compare it with existing libraries.
