This book, Fundamentals of Practical Pharmaceutical Analysis, is designed to provide pharmacy students with a clear, concise understanding of essential analytical techniques used in pharmaceutical laboratories. It bridges theoretical concepts with practical application, focusing on accuracy, reproducibility, and regulatory relevance. The content includes important definitions, limit tests for common impurities, preparation and standardization of reagents, and the assay of pharmaceutical compounds using various volumetric techniques. Modern electro-analytical methods such as conductometric and potentiometric titrations are also covered to introduce students to instrumental analysis.
Each experiment is presented with its principle, reaction involved, procedure, and standardization steps, making it easy for learners to follow and perform confidently. This book aims to serve as a valuable guide for pharmacy undergraduates and instructors alike, fostering strong foundational skills in pharmaceutical analysis and promoting good laboratory practices essential for academic and professional success.
