Course Description: This course covers pharmaceutical quality control aspects, various

titremetric methods such as acid-base, argentometric, complexometric, non-aqueous and

miscellaneous titrimetry methods. Besides, it also gives the student theoretical knowledge on

applications of radiochemical and electrochemical techniques in quality control of

pharmaceuticals. The course has 16 weeks of practical classes in which different titrimetric

methods will be studied as employed in the estimation of the constituents of drugs included in

the national drug list.

Course Objectives: After completing this course, students will be able to describe the purpose

of pharmacopoeia, importance of quality control, steps involved in drug analysis, sample

pretreatment, different analytical methods and their use in pharmaceutical analysis. They will

also be able to propose suitable analytical technique for a sample, carry out analysis for different

pharmaceuticals as well as handle validation of analytical procedures, interpret and report data

obtained from an analysis.

Supporting objectives:

Describe what is meant by pharmaceutical analysis

Explain Purpose of pharmaceutical analysis

Describe quality control and quality assurance

Perform basic calculations in pharmaceutical analysis

Describe sample preparation for analysis

Describe titrimetry

Perform different titration

Describe electrochemical method of analysis
