About Book
The Text Book of Modern Pharmaceutical Analytical Techniques is a comprehensive guide designed to provide a deep understanding of modern analytical methods used in pharmaceutical sciences. It begins with UV-Visible spectroscopy, explaining its theory, laws, instrumentation, solvent effects, and wide-ranging applications in quantitative drug analysis. The next section on IR spectroscopy explores molecular vibrations, sample handling techniques, dispersive and FTIR instrumentation, and the factors influencing vibrational frequencies. Spectrofluorimetry is presented with emphasis on the principles of fluorescence, quenching effects, instrumental design, and analytical uses. The book further covers Flame emission spectroscopy and Atomic absorption spectroscopy, detailing their principles, instrumentation, interferences, and pharmaceutical applications. In the section on NMR spectroscopy, topics such as quantum numbers, relaxation processes, chemical shifts, spin-spin coupling, coupling constants, and the fundamentals of FT-NMR and 13C-NMR are well described. The chapter on Mass Spectroscopy discusses ionization techniques like electron impact, chemical, field, FAB, MALDI, APCI, and ESI, along with analyzers, fragmentation rules, isotopic peaks, and applications in structural elucidation. A major portion of the book focuses on Chromatography, covering all types—paper, thin-layer, ion-exchange, column, gas, HPLC, and affinity chromatography—explaining principles, apparatus, instrumentation, and factors affecting resolution. The section on Electrophoresis explains different types such as paper, gel, capillary, zone, moving boundary, and isoelectric focusing, along with their principles, instrumentation, and applications. X-ray Crystallography is thoroughly presented, detailing the production of X-rays, diffraction methods, Bragg’s law, and crystal analysis techniques. The final chapter on Immunological assays covers advanced biochemical techniques like RIA, ELISA, and bioluminescence assays, focusing on their principles, instrumentation, and working conditions. Overall, this textbook serves as an essential reference for students, researchers, and professionals, offering theoretical foundations, practical insights, and applications of analytical tools crucial for drug discovery, quality control, and modern pharmaceutical research.
