Modern pharmaceutical analytical techniques

Modern pharmaceutical analytical techniques have revolutionized drug development quality control and regulatory compliance by offering precise reliable and high-throughput methods for evaluating pharmaceutical substances. These techniques are crucial for ensuring the identity purity potency and safety of drugs throughout their lifecycle from discovery to post-marketing surveillance. Key advancements include spectroscopic methods like UV-Vis FTIR Raman and NMR spectroscopy which enable structural elucidation and functional group analysis. Chromatographic techniques such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Gas Chromatography (GC) and Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) have become standard tools for quantifying active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and impurities.
