The course is designed to impart the knowledge in the field of Pharmaceutical Analysis. It will be concerned with the theory and practice of instrumental methods for the separation, identification and quantitative analysis of chemical substances. The various modern analytical techniques like UV-Visible, IR Spectroscopy, and different chromatographic methods like GC, HPLC and other important topics are taught to enable the students to understand and apply the principles involved in the analysis of different bulk drugs and their formulation. In addition to the theoretical aspects, the basic practical knowledge relevant to the analysis is also imparted. It will also provide the student with an appreciation of the relative strengths and limitations of different instrumental based analysis methods.
