PRELIM 01 - Review of Pharmaceutical Analysis Flashcards
Chemistry that deals with the methods for determining the chemical composition of samples of matter
Analytical chemistry
Yields information about the identity of atomic or molecular species (Methods of analytical chemistry)
Qualitative method
Provide numerical information as to the relative amount of one or more of these components (Methods of analytical chemistry)
Quantitative method
The process of a quantitative determination of a chemical substance from a given sample
Assay
Refers to the sum total of the organized arrangements made with the object of ensuring that all APIs are of the quality required
Quality assurance
Involves checking or testing that specifications are met
Quality control
Is a branch of practical chemistry that involves a series of processes for identification, determination, quantification, and purification of a substance
Pharmaceutical analysis
Refers to a measure of excellence or a state of being free from defects, deficiencies, and significant variations
Quality
_____________ is a standard that sets the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfills requirements
ISO 9000
__________ refers to the “number of defects per million opportunities”
