Recent updates in this edition

• The mass spectrometry section has been completely rewritten to reflect the extensive changes in instrumentation.
• The high-performance liquid chromatography section has been extensively reformulated to cover recent developments in ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography.
• The nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy section has been rewritten by an expert in this complex analytical technique.
• Thoroughly updated to provide a concise, specialized description of the frequently used techniques in pharmaceutical quality control.

Features:

• Includes calculation examples to demonstrate the use of mathematics in pharmaceutical analysis.
• Focuses on key points rather than a large amount of information to help readers truly understand this field and pass their exams.
• Contains self-assessment exercises focusing on simple numerical calculations arising from analytical data.

Student reviews for the previous edition:

"Pharmacy degrees are nothing without a section you hate. For me, that was pharmaceutical analysis. Frustrating, boring, the related lectures put me to sleep in minutes... So, if you want to learn smartly? Try this book... You'll quickly understand everything you need to know to get that coveted A."

"I have nothing bad to say about this book since it helped me get that A in a subject I couldn't stand, honestly what could be better?"

"I found this manual extremely useful. It perfectly complemented my degree's related section, it is easy to understand and quite significant."

"Excellent for practical exercises and exams. Everything I needed to know was there, easily findable, and with just the right amount of detail. The calculation examples are particularly useful for exams."

"I highly recommend purchasing this manual if you are looking for a comprehensive reference text for GC, HPLC, UV-VIS spectrophotometry, NMR etc., as part of a pharmacy degree."

"For those of you who are not exactly experts and know only first-level mathematics, there are numerous calculation examples in each topic, plus small exercises at strategic points in each chapter, which I highly recommend solving. The confidence it gave me to pass my exams was additionally positive... Also important is that there is a brief review at the beginning of each chapter with anything mentioned within it... it is also one of the few available books that combines various aspects of analytical chemistry such as UV/ IR/ HPLC / GC/ and NMR spectroscopy."
