Course/Module description:
In the laboratory the students will familiarize themselves with instrumental and titrimetric methods for analysis of pharmaceuticals. The course focuses on the specific problems associated with quantitative analysis of pharmaceuticals; applying analytical methods to complex organic molecules and quantitative determination of the pharmaceutical in the presence of the matrix. Methods to be used included aqueous titrations, HPLC and spectral methods, gel analysis of proteins and nucleic acids' quantification of protein and DNAs.

Course/Module aims:
The main goal of the course is to ensure that the students can work independently according to the leading pharmacopeias (BP and USD) and analyze the purity of pharmaceutical agents.

Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
To standardize solution for titrations
To carry out analyses of pharmaceuticals according the pharmacopea
To determine the purity of a pharmaceutical

Attendance requirements(%):
100

Teaching arrangement and method of instruction: There are lectures covering the theoretical aspects as well as wet labs.

Course/Module Content:
Titrations, HPLC, quantification of protein and Nucleic acids, SDS page gel, PCR, and Agarose gel,
