This textbook places a unique focus on pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical laboratory practices, providing a systematic introduction to the different applications of chemical analysis commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry. It comprehensively covers chemical analysis of drug substances, final pharmaceutical products, and biological fluids like blood and plasma, with a special emphasis on sample preparation and separation techniques.
The text is arranged in three parts;
* The first presents an introduction to the chemical analysis of pharmaceuticals and teaches the basics of analytical chemistry and statistics;
* The second provides descriptions of a variety of analytical techniques widely-used in the pharmaceutical laboratory.
* The third instructs the reader how to use analytical techniques to analyze raw materials for pharmaceutical production, how to analyze finished pharmaceutical products, and how to analyze drug substances in biological fluids like urine and blood.
Chemical Analysis in Pharmaceutical Sciences will be a valuable resource for undergraduates studying pharmaceutical sciences, analytical sciences, chemistry and forensic analysis. It is written by three established authors, all of whom have extensive experience researching and teaching pharmaceutical analysis. The content is presented from a fundamental point of view and includes solvable problems and illustrative examples with up-to-date information that transcends existing textbooks in this field.
This textbook is the first to present a systematic introduction to chemical analysis of pharmaceutical raw materials, finished pharmaceutical products, and of drugs in biological fluids, which are carried out in pharmaceutical laboratories worldwide.
In addition, this textbook teaches the fundamentals of all the major analytical techniques used in the pharmaceutical laboratory, and teaches the international pharmacopoeias and guidelines of importance for the field. It is primarily intended for the pharmacy student, to teach the requirements in "analytical chemistry" for the 5 years pharmacy curriculum, but the textbook is also intended for analytical chemists moving into the field of pharmaceutical analysis.
* Addresses the basic concepts, then establishes the foundations for the common analytical methods that are currently used in the quantitative and qualitative chemical analysis of pharmaceutical drugs
* Provides an understanding of common analytical techniques used in all areas of pharmaceutical development
* Suitable for a foundation course in chemical and pharmaceutical sciences
* Aimed at undergraduate students of degrees in Pharmaceutical Science/Chemistry Analytical Science/Chemistry, Forensic analysis
* Includes many illustrative examples
