About Book
The Text Book of Modern Pharmaceutical Analytical Techniques is a comprehensive guide that introduces students and professionals to the fundamental and advanced concepts of modern analysis used in pharmaceutical sciences. It begins with UV-Visible spectroscopy, explaining its theory, laws, instrumentation, solvent effects, and its wide applications in drug analysis. The next section is IR spectroscopy, covering the theory, molecular vibrations, sample handling, instrumentation of both dispersive and FT-IR spectrometers, factors influencing vibrational frequencies, and practical applications. Spectrofluorimetry is discussed in detail with its theory, factors affecting fluorescence, quenchers, instrumentation, and applications in sensitive pharmaceutical detection. The book also explores Flame Emission Spectroscopy and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, focusing on their principles, instrumentation, interferences, and applications in elemental analysis. A substantial section is dedicated to NMR spectroscopy, explaining quantum numbers, principles, instrumentation, solvent use, relaxation processes, signals, chemical shifts, spin-spin coupling, coupling constants, double resonance, FT-NMR, 13C NMR, and its diverse applications in structural elucidation. The chapter on Mass Spectroscopy covers its principle, theory, instrumentation, various ionization techniques such as EI, CI, FAB, MALDI, APCI, ESI, and APPI, along with analyzers like quadrupole and TOF, fragmentation rules, metastable ions, isotopic peaks, and pharmaceutical applications.
The text further elaborates on Chromatography, beginning with an introduction and classification of techniques, followed by detailed discussions on paper, thin layer, ion exchange, column, gas, HPLC, and affinity chromatography—covering principles, apparatus, instrumentation, parameters, resolution factors, and pharmaceutical applications. Electrophoresis is thoroughly explained with different types such as paper, gel, capillary, zone, moving boundary, and isoelectric focusing, highlighting principles, instrumentation, working conditions, factors affecting separation, and practical applications. Another crucial part of the book is X-ray Crystallography, where readers learn about X-ray production, diffraction methods, Bragg’s law, rotating crystal and powder techniques, crystal types, and analytical applications. Finally, the book ends with Immunological Assays, explaining the principles, instrumentation, working conditions, factors affecting separation, and applications of advanced bioanalytical techniques such as RIA, ELISA, and bioluminescence assays.
