About Book
This textbook provides a detailed and integrated overview of modern pharmaceutical analytical techniques that are fundamental to drug analysis and quality control. It systematically introduces both classical and advanced instrumental methods used in pharmaceutical sciences. Beginning with UV–Visible spectroscopy, the book explains its theoretical basis, laws, instrumentation, solvent effects, and wide pharmaceutical applications. Infrared spectroscopy is discussed with emphasis on molecular vibrations, sample handling, dispersive and FT-IR instruments, and factors influencing vibrational frequencies. Spectrofluorimetry is presented as a highly sensitive technique, covering fluorescence theory, quenching phenomena, instrumentation, and analytical applications. Flame emission spectroscopy and atomic absorption spectroscopy are explained in parallel, highlighting their principles, instrumentation, interferences, and utility in elemental analysis. The section on NMR spectroscopy offers an in-depth understanding of nuclear properties, chemical shift, spin–spin coupling, relaxation processes, and advanced techniques such as FT-NMR and ¹³C-NMR. Mass spectroscopy chapters describe ionization methods, mass analyzers, fragmentation patterns, isotopic peaks, and pharmaceutical applications. Chromatography is extensively covered, including paper, TLC, GC, HPLC, ion exchange, affinity, and column chromatography, with focus on principles, parameters, and resolution factors. Electrophoresis techniques are explained with working conditions, separation factors, and applications. X-ray crystallography provides insight into crystal structure determination using diffraction methods and Bragg’s law. Immunological assays such as RIA, ELISA, and bioluminescence assays are also included. Overall, the book serves as a comprehensive, exam-oriented, and practical resource for students and professionals in pharmaceutical analysis.
