Aims
To develop knowledge and practical experience of advanced techniques available for the analysis of pharmaceutical products.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Evaluate the principles and practice of a range of advanced analytical techniques typical of those used in industry
2.
Critically appraise the quality of analytical data and determine whether an analytical method is fit for purpose
3.
Analyse a range of samples using appropriate techniques, evaluate the data and report the findings
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Procedures for quality control with regard to current pharmaceutical regulations. Method validation, analytical validation criteria and monitoring of data quality and processes. Issues of sample preparation of different sample types.
Application of mass spectrometry to the analysis of pharmaceutical compounds. The theory and operation of mass spectrometers will be discussed including the use of coupled techniques (LC-MS and GC-MS). This will build upon the chromatography material from previous levels.
Analysis of metals in pharmaceuticals with reference to current pharmaceutical industry regulations. The module will cover the theory and application of atomic spectroscopy and mass spectrometry methods including coupled methods.
Module Overview:
The module is designed to provide you with the concepts and practical experience necessary to pursue a career in an analytical role in the pharmaceutical industry, and to be aware of the limitations of analytical techniques upon which you may rely for information.
