“Drug release” refers to the process in which drug solutes migrate from the initial position in the polymeric system to the polymer's outer surface and then to the release medium RIIP®/CENQAM® is highly experienced in drug release testing and utilises the following techniques: Disintegration (solid dosage forms) Dissolution…http://health-sciences.nwu.ac.za/riiprcenqamr/gas-chromatography-gc
Gas Chromatography (GC)
The pharmaceutical industry uses gas chromatography (GC) to help produce pure products in large quantities. The method is used to ensure the purity of the produced material and eliminate inconsistencies in pharmaceutical products. The industry also uses gas chromatography to analyze compounds to check for trace contaminants. RIIP/CENQAM is…http://health-sciences.nwu.ac.za/riiprcenqamr/pharmaceutical-analysis-papc
Pharmaceutical Analysis (PA/PC)
Pharmaceutical analysis is focused on wet chemistry and powdering techniques. Wet chemistry is a form of analytical chemistry that uses classical methods such as observation to analyse materials. It is called wet chemistry since most analysis is done in the liquid phase. Wet chemistry is also called bench chemistry since many tests are performed…http://health-sciences.nwu.ac.za/node/24247
