Abstract

The successful commercialization of a technology is the consequence of overall consideration of the cost effectiveness and the performance of the technology. It is to bear in mind that the academically valuable information may not be suitable for the day-to-day operation during the product production. In this article the technology progress would be focused on the development towards the commercial application. The emphasis is particularly addressed on the ‘cost-effectiveness’ and ‘user-friendliness’ through simplifying sample preparation and the following procedures while maintaining high accuracy in the results. Ginseng and Huperzia are used to evaluate the performance of the technologies in everyday operation. Details in the academic achievement in the related fields are, however, not accentuated.
