Pharmaceutical Analysis-I

Preface

Pharmaceutical analysis is a field that serves as the cornerstone of drug development and quality assurance in the pharmaceutical industry. It encompasses a diverse range of techniques and methodologies aimed at ensuring the safety, efficacy, and purity of pharmaceutical products. As the demand for high-quality medicines continues to rise, the role of pharmaceutical analysis in maintaining public health and safety has never been more crucial. In this book, authored by Dr. Amod S. Patil, Dr. Bhushan Jagdish Mali, Dr. Bhupendra L. Deore, and Mrs. Savita V. Pol, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the principles, techniques, and applications of pharmaceutical analysis. Drawing upon our collective expertise and experience in academia and industry, we have meticulously crafted each chapter to offer both theoretical insights and practical guidance. Our approach to this book is twofold: first, to present the fundamental concepts of pharmaceutical analysis in a clear and accessible manner, making it suitable for students and novice researchers in the field. Second, to delve into advanced topics and emerging trends to cater to the needs of seasoned professionals and researchers seeking to expand their knowledge base. Throughout the chapters, readers will find discussions on various analytical techniques, including chromatography, spectroscopy, electrophoresis, and mass spectrometry, among others. We also explore important topics such as method development and validation, pharmacopoeial standards, impurity profiling, and regulatory requirements.
