Course overview

This course aims to develop an advanced understanding of spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques as a basis for analytical processes for drugs and related compounds. The theory and application of nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry and advanced chromatographic methods. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of drugs and related compounds. Design and application of chromatographic techniques to specific quantitative analyses of the components of pharmaceutical preparations both in isolation and in biological systems.

Course learning outcomes

  • Extend to an advanced theoretical understanding of selected spectrosopic and chromatographic techniques
  • Evaluate and apply specific spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques for the determination of the concentration and identity of the components of pharmaceutical preparations in isolation and in biological systems.
  • Design and evaluate procedures for the extraction, isolation and assay of selected drugs.
