Course Contents·  Analytical techniques for pharmaceutical products of high quality.
·  Sensitivity, reproducibility and accuracy of methods in drug quality control, using purely chemical methods of analysis, e.g. aqueous and non-aqueous titrimetric, gravimetric, and instrumental methods, e.g. spectroscopic, chromatographic, fluorometric, for qualitative and quantitative control of drugs.
·  Emphasis to quality control, by qualitative and quantitative determinations, of the active substances and reagents-solvents used in pharmacies and pharmaceutical industry.
·  Pharmaceutical product stability and purity for the determination of t1/2 of chemicals and drugs and their expiry date.
·  Laboratory work: Chromatographic (TLC) separation of a mixture, Separation of pharmaceutical compounds from a mixture by extraction or HPLC, Spectrophotometric determination of a drug, e.g. haloperidol, Detection and quantitative determination of Pb(II) in drug, chemical or water samples.
