Principles of Quantitative Pharmaceutical Analysis and Laboratory for Quantitative Analysis

Two didactic units composes the course: lectures (Principles of Quantitative Pharmaceutical Analysis) and individual laboratory training (Laboratory for Quantitative Analysis).
The objectives of the lectures consist in providing the knowledge needed to apply the analytical methods, already partially learned in the preparatory courses (General and Inorganic Chemistry, and Stoichiometry, Analytical Chemistry and Inorganic Analysis of Substances having Pharmaceutical Interest and Qualitative Analysis Laboratory), described in the current European Pharmacopoeia for the quantitative analysis of substances for pharmaceutical use.
Concerning the experimental practices, the students will acquire the skills needed for the dosage of pharmaceutical substances reported in the Italian and European Pharmacopoeias.

By the lectures, the students will have improved further their knowledge concerning the theoretical and practical aspects related to the quantitative analysis, which they will have applied during the individual experimental practices.
The laboratory experiences (mandatory) will have provided to the students the skills to perform the quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical compounds, to complete their knowledge (by means also of other courses as Assays and Methods of Analysis of the Pharmacopoeias and Laboratory of Drug Identification), needed to take the qualifying examination of Pharmacist.
