Description
This module aims to provide students with a broad knowledge of the theory, practice and interpretation of the various pharmacopoeia tests and instrumentation routinely employed in a Biopharmaceutical Quality Control laboratory to assess the quality of raw materials, intermediate and finished-goods product.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Interpret the European Pharamcopoeia and US Pharmacopoeia for QC Testing.
2.
Outline and evaluate the basic test methods routinely employed in the analysis of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products.
3.
Describe the typical analytical equipment employed for performance of the analytical test methods.
4.
Describe the basic principles of Lean Manufacturing as related to laboratory practices.
5.
Analyse and draw conclusions from typical quantitative and qualitative data obtained in an analytical laboratory and/or data presented in problem solving exercises.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be delivered fulltime. Moodle will be used as a repository of educational resources and as a means of assessment (e.g. quizzes, uploading assignments and journals).
Module Assessment Strategies
This module is 50% Continuous Assessment and 50% Final exam'. There will be 2 MCQs given during the semester, one mid semester and the second at the end of the semester. An online Long Answer Question Paper will take place towards the end of the semester.
Repeat Assessments
Repeat exam or repeat continuous assessment.
