Primary source for learning pharmaceutical analytical chemistry, fully updated and revised to reflect current practice and Pharmacopoeia standards
Introduction to Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry enables students to gain fundamental knowledge of the vital concepts, techniques, and applications of the chemical analysis of pharmaceutical ingredients, final pharmaceutical products, and drug substances in biological fluids.
Extensively revised throughout to reflect the current European Pharmacopoeia (Ph.Eur) and United States Pharmacopeia (USP), this Third Edition presents updated methodologies, practical examples, and calculations to reflect current pharmaceutical laboratory practice. Revisions to the chapter structure, text, and figures have been implemented to improve clarity and comprehension. New practice problems, up-to-date practical examples, and detailed illustrations are also included throughout the text.
Written by a team of experienced academics, Introduction to Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry explores topics including:
- Fundamentals of bases, acids, solubility, polarity, partition, stereochemistry, and pharmaceutical analytical chemistry
- Marketing authorizations, pharmaceutical manufacturing, titration, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, IR spectrophotometry, and atomic spectrometry
- Separation principles in liquid chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, electrophoretic methods, and mass spectrometry
- Sample preparation, quality of analytical data and validation, and chemical analysis of pharmaceutical ingredients and preparations
- Bioanalysis chemical analysis of pharmaceuticals in biological fluids and chemical analysis of biopharmaceuticals
Introduction to Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry is essential reading for chemists, biochemists, and other scientists entering the pharmaceutical industry, along with undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in pharmaceutical courses.
