Pharmaceutical Analysis is concerned with the identification, separation, purification and quantitative determination of substances used in medicines. It applies principles of analytical chemistry to ensure the identity, purity, strength, quality and safety of pharmaceutical ingredients and finished dosage forms.
The Department of Pharmaceutical Analysis at Krishna Institute of Pharmacy provides students with a strong foundation in classical and instrumental analytical techniques. Practical training develops accuracy, scientific judgement and the ability to interpret analytical data used in research, quality control and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Aim of Pharmaceutical Analysis
- To learn the principles of volumetric analysis.
- To gain practical knowledge on various volumetric titration techniques.
- To study the preparation and assessment of inorganic compounds.
- To determine the assay of various inorganic compounds in pharmaceutical use.
- To develop analytical skill for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of various inorganic compounds.
Main Areas of Discussion at Pharmaceutical Analysis
- Acid-base, redox, complexometric and precipitation titrations used in pharmaceutical analysis.
- Preparation and standardization of volumetric solutions.
- Assay of pharmacopoeial inorganic compounds.
- Limit tests for common impurities in pharmaceutical substances.
- Quality control procedures for inorganic pharmaceuticals.
