Pharmaceutical analysis - David G Watson

This introductory text highlights the most important aspects of a wide range of techniques used in the control of the quality of pharmaceuticals. Written with the needs of the student in mind, this clear, practical guide includes self-testing sections with arithmetical examples and tests to help students brush up on their arithmetical skills in an applied context.

Features

• Includes worked calculations to demonstrate mathematics in use for pharmaceutical analysis.
• Focuses on key points rather than a large number of facts to help readers really understand the field as well as pass exams.
• Includes self-assessment, focussing on simple arithmetical calculation results from analytical data.

• New to this edition

  • Mass spectrometry completely rewritten to reflect extensive changes in the instrumentation.
  • High-pressure liquid chromatography extensively reworked to cover recent developments in ultra high-pressure liquid chromatography.
  • Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy rewritten by an expert in this complex analytical technique.
  • Thoroughly updated throughout to provide a succinct, expert account of the most frequently used techniques in pharmaceutical quality control.
