A Practical Book of Pharmaceutical Analysis- I & II

ISBN-978-93-6976-628-4

It gives us immense pleasure to present this Practical Book for M.Pharm Pharmaceutical
Analysis, meticulously designed to cater to the academic and practical needs of postgraduate
students in the field of pharmaceutical sciences.
Pharmaceutical Analysis is a cornerstone of drug development and quality assurance. With the
increasing demands of regulatory compliance and the evolving complexity of pharmaceutical
formulations, it is imperative for students to gain a deep and hands-on understanding of modern
analytical techniques. This book is intended to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge
and practical application, providing a structured and comprehensive approach to laboratory
work.
The content of this practical book is aligned with the current curriculum of M.Pharm
(Pharmaceutical Analysis) programs and includes detailed experimental procedures, relevant
theoretical background, observation tables, calculations, results, and precautions for each
experiment. Wherever applicable, modern instrumental techniques such as UV-Vis
spectrophotometry, HPLC, FTIR, and others have been included to reflect the current trends in
the pharmaceutical industry.
We have also included spaces for students to record their observations, interpretations, and
remarks, making this book not only a learning tool but also a personal laboratory record.
Special care has been taken to ensure clarity, reproducibility, and regulatory relevance of each
procedure.
We hope this practical manual will serve as a valuable companion to students, helping them
build competence, confidence, and critical thinking in analytical practices. Feedback and
suggestions for improvement are warmly welcomed and will be highly appreciated in future
editions.
