Pharmaceutical Analysis : A Practical Manual

Pharmaceutical Analysis is a branch of practical chemistry that involves identification, determination, quantification and purification of a compound, separation of the components of a solution or mixture, or determination of structure of chemical compounds. So, considering plethora of application and wide utility of pharmaceutical analysis in pharmaceutical sciences, “Pharmaceutical Analysis: A Practical Manual” was designed. The experiments in laboratory manual are designed according to the recommendation of AICTE for B. Pharmacy curriculum. This manual consists of different chapters dealing with the detailed information of pharmaceutical analytical techniques and organized according to the type of titration or techniques.  Each technique is explained along with the experiments. One section of the manual is designed for the titration techniques involved in pharmaceutical analysis whereas another section deals with electrophoresis and chromatography techniques. This manual will suffice the requirements of academics and research. Moreover, this manual can be treated as reference for pharmaceutical analytical techniques.  The reader of this book is urged to go beyond the material as well as topics covered in this book to ensure their adequacy for practice specific issues. “Read it, study it and by all means go beyond it”. We hope readers benefit from the book and provide the readers with a wide knowledge base of pharmaceutical analysis techniques.
