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 substances, 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:
- Pharmacopoeias and the link between pharmaceuticals and analytical chemistry
- Fundamentals of bases, acids, solubility, polarity, partition, and stereochemistry
- Titration, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, IR spectrophotometry, and atomic spectrometry
- High-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, electrophoretic methods, and mass spectrometry
- Quantitation, quality of analytical data, and validation
- Chemical analysis of pharmaceutical substances and products including biopharmaceuticals
- Sample preparation and determination of pharmaceutical substance in biological samples
Introduction to Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in pharmaceutical courses, along with chemists, biochemists, and other scientists entering the pharmaceutical industry.
