Description

This module covers the essential aspects of separation science for pharmaceutical samples. It addresses the issues of quality within measurements and examines the various sample types encountered within the pharmaceutical industry. It also addresses aspects of sample preparation and pretreatment.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Describe the purpose of the most common analytical tests carried out in the context of pharmaceutical manufacturing and quality control.

2.

Relate key structural and physicochemical properties of pharmaceutical compounds to their analysis: eg appropriate analytical techniques, sample preparation and analytical conditions

3.

Identify suitable sample preparation techniques for a variety of pharmaceutical samples

4.

Perform qualitative and quantitative laboratory analyses  on Pharmaceutical APIs and Finished Products using a selection of compendial and non-compendial methods and with due consideration of GLP/GMP

5.

Interpret data from qualitative and quantitative chromatographic determinations in relation to a stated test hypothesis or quality specification

Teaching and Learning Strategies

This module will be delivered to online. This will include lectures and laboratory practicals augmented by independent learning and directed learning. Attendance at a workshop to complete the laboratory practicals is mandatory. Exemption from attending the workshop may be considered where a student can demonstrate that the learning outcomes of the practicals can be achieved through a work-based project. 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 65% continuous assessment and 35% final exam.

Students will be assessed using Moodle based multiple choice and short answer questions, laboratory performance and results, and reinforced with a final written examination.

Repeat Assessments

Repeat Continuous Assessment and/or Final Exam.

  • System suitability requirements PhEur

6. Perform qualitative and quantitative laboratory analyses  on Pharmaceutical APIs and Finished Products using a selection of compendial and non-compendial methods and with due consideration of GLP/GMP

In relation to Assays and Related Substances reviewing use of  Chemical (titration) & spectroscopic (FTIR/UV) techniques and emphasising competencies in performing chromatographic separations: HPLC (in particular), GC, Ion Chromatography. 

  • Identify relevant hazzards and manage risks for safety.
  • source and apply compendial method or non-compendial SOP
  • Prepare samples/standards and set up instrumentation
  • Record all relevant data in consideration of GLP/GMP

7. Interpret data from qualitative and quantitative chromatographic determinations in relation to a stated test hypothesis or quality specification.

  • Quality specifications for pharmaceutical samples. 
  • Recording and documenting 
  • Processing qualitative and quantitative analytical data
  • Interpretation of chromatographic data including system suitability - in relation to quality specification

Known for its readability and systematic, rigorous approach, this fully updated Ninth Edition of FUNDAMENTALS OF ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY offers extensive coverage of the principles and practices of analytic chemistry and consistently shows students its applied nature. The book's award-winning authors begin each chapter with a story and photo of how analytic chemistry is applied in industry, medicine, and all the sciences. To further reinforce student learning, a wealth of dynamic photographs by renowned chemistry photographer Charlie Winters appear as chapter-openers and throughout the text., Incorporating Excel spreadsheets as a problem-solving tool, the Ninth Edition is enhanced by a chapter on Using Spreadsheets in Analytical Chemistry, updated spreadsheet summaries and problems, an "Excel Shortcut Keystrokes for the PC" insert card, and a supplement by the text authors, EXCEL (R) APPLICATIONS FOR ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY, which integrates this important aspect of the study of analytical chemistry into the book's already rich pedagogy. New to this edition is OWL, an online homework and assessment tool that includes the Cengage YouBook, a fully customizable and interactive eBook, which enhances conceptual understanding through hands-on integrated multimedia interactivity.
