Pharmaceutical analysis of drug substances and drug products

The analysis of drug products and drug substances can be done quantitatively or semi-quantitatively.

Quantitative analysis include among other tests; Residue on Evaporation, Ash values etc

Semi-quantitatively, we have limit tests , degree of opalescence or color ￼ and limit test for heavy metals

However, content determination can be done titrimetrically. There are several titrimetric ￼techniques that can be used conveniently depending on the accuracy and precision.
