As pharmaceutical and biochemical research advances, the need for highly selective, accurate, and reproducible separation techniques has become increasingly critical. Chromatography continues to serve as a cornerstone of analytical and preparative sciences, especially in drug development, biotechnology, and quality control. Unit 5 focuses on three powerful and specialized chromatographic techniques—Ion Exchange Chromatography, Gel Chromatography, and […]

Chromatographic techniques have become indispensable tools in pharmaceutical analysis, enabling precise separation, identification, and quantification of complex mixtures. Among these, Gas Chromatography (GC) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) stand out as the most widely used instrumental methods in research laboratories, quality control units, and regulatory testing facilities. Unit 4 focuses on the theory, instrumentation, advantages,

In modern pharmaceutical sciences, the ability to separate, identify, and analyze complex mixtures is essential for drug development, quality control, and research. Chromatography and electrophoresis are among the most powerful analytical techniques used to achieve this goal. Unit 3 introduces the fundamental principles, methodologies, advantages, limitations, and applications of column chromatography, thin layer chromatography, paper

Analytical chemistry plays a central role in pharmaceutical sciences, enabling scientists to identify, quantify, and ensure the quality of drugs and excipients. Unit 2 focuses on instrumental techniques that span molecular structure elucidation, elemental analysis, and measurement of suspended particles. Infrared spectroscopy, flame photometry, atomic absorption spectroscopy, and nepheloturbidometry together provide a powerful toolkit widely

In pharmaceutical sciences, analytical techniques play a decisive role in identifying, quantifying, and ensuring the quality of drugs. Among these techniques, UV–Visible spectroscopy and fluorimetry stand out for their simplicity, sensitivity, and wide-ranging applications. Unit 1 introduces these two powerful spectroscopic methods, explaining their theoretical foundations, instrumentation, and practical uses in pharmaceutical analysis and research.
