PRELIM 01 - Pharmaceutical Analysis Flashcards
Deals with methods for determining the chemical composition of states of matter
Analytical chemistry
Yields information about the identity of atomic or molecular species
Qualitative method
Provides numerical information as to the relative amount of one or more of these components
Quantitative method
3 classifications of drug analysis according to nature of sample
Physical, Chemical, Biological
The process of a quantitative determination of a chemical substance from a given sample
Assay
5 classifications of drug analysis according to size of sample
Macroanalysis, Semi-microanalysis, Microanalysis, Submicroanalysis, Ultramicroanalysis
0.1 g or more
Macroanalysis
0.1 g - 1 g
Semi-microanalysis
0.01 g - 0.1 g
Microanalysis
0.001 g - 0.01 g
Submicroanalysis
<0.001 g
Ultramicroanalysis
3 classifications of drug analysis according to extent of analysis
Proximate, Ultimate, Partial
Amount of each element in a sample is determined
Proximate
The perfect of extractive from a crude drug represents a single chemical species
Ultimate
Determines selected constituents in the sample
Partial
The sum total of the organized arrangements made with the object of ensuring that all APIs are of the quality required
Quality assurance (QA)
Checking or testing that specifications are met
Quality control (QC)
A branch of practical chemistry that involves a series of processes for identification, determination, quantification, and purification of a substance
Pharmaceutical analysis
3 Separation techniques (classical methods)
Precipitation, Extraction, Distillation
2 Separation techniques (instrumental methods)
Chromatography, Electrophoresis
7 Qualitative analysis techniques (classical methods)
Chemical tests, b.p., m.p., Solubility, Odor, Optical activity, Refractive index
4 Qualitative analysis techniques (instrumental methods)
UV/Vis spectrometry, Infrared spectrometry, MS, NMR spectrometry
3 Quantitative analysis techniques (classical methods)
Titrimetry, Gravimetry, Coulometry
6 Quantitative analysis techniques (instrumental methods)
Potentiometry, Voltammetry, Spectrophotometry, AAS, Thermometric methods, Kinetic methods
Securing or getting a representative sample from a given population
Sampling
2 types of error
Indeterminate, Determinate
Random and inherent error; uncontrolled variable
Indeterminate error
Systematic error; flaw in equipment or design of the experiment
Determinate error
Reproducibility of the result
Precision
Other name of relative standard deviation
Coefficient of variation
Difference between the largest and smallest value
Range
