Abstract: To address the longstanding issues in the experiments for heavy metals detection and harmful elements determination in Chinese medicine,such as susceptibility to environmental constraints,lengthy experimental cycles,multiple procedural steps,and high costs,the teaching team developed a "virtual simulation experiment on heavy metals detection and harmful elements determination" using virtual simulation technology.This experiment incorporates both chemical analysis and instrumental analysis techniques required for heavy metal testing and harmful element determination,helping students enhance their understanding of the experimental principles and precautions.
