Objectives (expected learning outcomes) The aim of this course is to learn every pharmacist to make use of, read and understand a pharmacopoeia. 3. Course content   Theory            The European pharmacopoeia forms the basis of the theoretical part of this course. The introductory chapters of this pharmacopoeia, i.e. apparatus, identification methods and purity tests, techniques and methods of analysis, will be dealt with. This course will include the techniques and methods used for the analysis of pure products or relatively simple mixtures that do not need extensive sample preparation. The knowledge obtained in the course of Pharmaceutical Analysis I&II will serve as the starting point of this course. Specific identification and test methods and methods of analysis of selected pharmaceutical excipients and drugs will be studied in more detail.   Practical course             In this practical course specific analyses related to toxicology, bromatology, pharmacognosy and pharmaceutical chemistry are performed according to well-described protocols. Techniques include HPLC and GC next to the classical titrations and spectroscopic methods. 4. Teaching method Direct contact: Lectures Personal work: Exercises Assignments - in group 5.
