Analysis




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Think of it as detective work for medicines!

  • We use various tools and techniques to identify exactly what's in a medicine – like its active ingredients, those that make you feel better, and any inactive ingredients, like fillers or binders.

  • We figure out the exact amount of each ingredient – not too little, not too much, to make sure the medicine works effectively.

  • We even check for impurities or contaminants, unwanted things that shouldn't be there, to guarantee the medicine is safe for you to take.

Why is this important?

  • Safe and Effective Medicines: By ensuring quality, we make sure medications do what they're supposed to do without causing harm.

  • Consistent Doses: Knowing the exact amount of each ingredient ensures you get the right therapeutic effect.

  • Public Trust: Pharmaceutical analysis builds trust in medications because people know they've been checked thoroughly.

What will you learn?

  • Different analytical techniques: Imagine fancy tools like microscopes, chromatography machines, and spectrometers that help us see and measure things at the molecular level.

  • Calculations and data analysis: You'll learn how to interpret the information these tools provide to understand what a medicine is made of.

  • Quality control and assurance: We'll explore how to maintain these high standards throughout the manufacturing process.
