This course focuses on the basic aspects of pharmaceutical dosage forms and pharmaceutical analytical skills. Each laboratory experiment is designed to provide students with hands-on experience in executing elementary analytical skills and quality control tests for various dosage forms, which helps students understand how to perform experiment design and possible troubleshooting. Students can be familiar with the analytical technicalities and experimental design used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis and quality control of various active ingredients and pharmaceutical products.

CILO-1: Describe the theory and application of pharmaceutical quantitative and qualitative analysis. CILO-2: Explain the combination of various techniques (chromatographic, spectroscopic, and spectrometric) for the identification, content determination (quantification) and content uniformity evaluation of pharmaceutical preparations. CILO-3: Identify the procedures used to separate active pharmaceutical ingredients. CILO-4: Explain how to develop a new analytical protocol for drug analysis. CILO-5: Select the appropriate analytical technique for the identification and/or quantification of active ingredients in pharmaceutical products.
