JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Course Objective

The principles and procedures for the determination of various pharmaceutical

bulk drugs and their formulations belonging to different categories are discussed in detail. The applications of the important reagents like MBTH, FC, PDAB etc. in the determination of the pharmaceuticals are also discussed.

Course Outcome

The quantitative determination of various organic compounds is clearly

understood. The spectral analysis, dissolution parameters and microbial assays are also learned.
