When a test fails, you need to know what went wrong, how it can be fixed, and how to convince QA\\QC that the tested material is okay. This gives you little time to dig out the relevant scientific literature, literature that is often so old it doesn't show up in an electronic search.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking this knowledge easily accessible and directly applicable to work in the lab, \u003cstrong\u003ePharmaceutical Chemical Analysis: Methods for Limit Tests and Identifications\u003c\/strong\u003e explains the purpose of these older tests, the chemistry involved, and hazards to avoid. The book covers the identification of ions and functional groups tests and limit tests respectively. It covers subjects relevant to all the pharmacopoeial identification\/limit test and then goes on to describe the individual tests in chapters organized and named as they appear in the \u003cem\u003eEuropean Pharmacopoeia\u003c\/em\u003e. Each chapter begins with a short discussion on the purpose and rationale of the tests, followed by a review of the physical and chemical characters of the target ion or compound. The author describes the chemical background and logic of the individual procedural steps of the test with formulas and reaction and provides tips on the strengths and weaknesses of these techniques in terms of specificity, ruggedness, and potential procedural pitfalls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrict regulatory requirements and economic pressures make the pharmaceutical industry understandably reluctant to replace a test that is simple, cheap, and performs well with expensive, unvalidated instrumental techniques. This resource bridges the gap by providing an in-depth understanding of the principles behind the \u003cem\u003eEuropean Pharmacopoeia\u003c\/em\u003e tests and how to use them, saving you valuable production time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ole Pedersen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0849319781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780849319785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.56h x 6.34w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2006 pg. 110","brand":"Ole Pedersen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112983933183,"sku":"9780849319785","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c5b87220-2467-4e3d-bdaa-3177d57b9984.jpg?v=1769612271","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pharmaceutical-chemical-analysis-ole-pedersen-9780849319785","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
