The invention relates to a quality test method for corydalis saxicola bunting total alkali. The method comprises the following steps: identifying a thin layer of an effective part, inspecting moisture, residue on ignition, heavy metal and arsenic salt, and measuring the content of total alkaloids by adopting an ultraviolet spectrophotometry and measuring the content of dehydrogenase crushed leaves corydaline, dehydrogenation A Kaweiting, jateorhizine, dehydrocavidine, palmatine chloride and berberine hydrochloride. The method has strong specificity and good reproducibility. By utilizing the quality test method, the quality of the corydalis saxicola bunting total alkali can be effectively controlled, and a product can be ensured to be safe, efficient, and controllable in quality.
