Pharmaceutical Analysis (Theory)

• The objectives of this course are to:
• Understand the interaction of matter with electromagnetic radiation and its application in spectroscopic methods for pharmaceutical drug analysis.
• Study the principles, instrumentation, and pharmaceutical applications of electroanalytical techniques such as potentiometry, conductometry, polarography, and amperometry.
• Understand and apply various chromatographic and electrophoretic separation techniques used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of drugs.
• Impart knowledge of instrumental methods used for accurate qualitative and quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical substances.
• Develop the ability to select, optimize, and validate suitable analytical techniques, interpret analytical data.

After completion of the course student will be able to:

1. CO1Explain the theoretical basis of electrochemical methods (potentiometry, conductometry, polarography, amperometry) and spectroscopic techniques (UV- Visible, IR, fluorometry, atomic absorption).
2. CO2Explain the instruments involved in electroanalytical and spectroscopic methods.
3. CO3Describe the principles, instrumentation, and applications of various chromatographic and electrophoretic techniques.
4. CO4Select suitable analytical techniques for specific pharmaceutical analysis requirements.
5. CO5Analyze, interpret, and report analytical data accurately and draw meaningful conclusions.
