Are you a student or a working professional looking to make an impact like creating clean energy, securing the cyber space, solving problems in the manufacturing industry using automation or creating breakthrough automobiles?Pharmaceutical Analysis is a branch of practical chemistry that involves a series of process for identification, determination, quantification and purification of a substance, separation of the components of a solution or mixture, or determination of structure of chemical compounds.

The department is committed to excellence in the field of Pharmaceutical Analysis at the College of Pharmacy since 1997, to produce competent Pharmaceutical Analyst to meet the present scenario of pharmaceutical industriesby employing state-of-the-art instrumentation facilities like LC-MS, GC, HPLC, HPTLC, FTIR, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, IR, spectrofluorometer. The laboratories in the department are equipped with advanced facilities, keeping in view of the needs of Pharmacy profession and health care industry. The department have extensive research activities and is also indulged in various interdisciplinary researches. There is good liaison between regulatory authorities, pharmaceutical industry, official laboratories and academic establishments to further assist in student’s career development. A broad knowledge of the pharmaceutical analysis is disseminated to the students by a team of inspired and enthusiastic faculty members who are wholeheartedly involved in teaching learning process.Nearly 23 batches of students have been passed out and many of them have also been placed in the reputed companies like Novartis Pharma, Aurobindo Pharma, Pfizer, etc in a well designated position.

Highlights of the Department:

Our department play an important role in the development process and validation.Concerns about drug safety, costly development programs, complex manufacturing, market demands for evidence-based data and increased regulatory requirements are all issues that can be addressed through a better understanding of your drug substance, drug product or manufacturing process which, in turn, can only be achieved through experienced analytical studies and robust analytical data.

Key research areas and projects focus on

  • Degradation profiling of drug substances and drug products
  • PK studies and metabolite profiling
  • Development and validation of stability indicating analytical methods
  • Analytical and Bio analytical method development and validation
  • Impurity Profiling
  • Food and cosmetic analysis
  • Standardization of Herbal formulations
