Description
This module covers the essential aspects of separation science for pharmaceutical samples. It addresses the issues of quality within measurements and examines the various sample types encountered within the pharmaceutical industry. It also addresses aspects of sample preparation and pretreatment.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
List the intermolecular forces responsible for solubility, attraction and repulsion forces in chemical solutions.
2.
Describe two theories of band broadening in column chromatography.
3.
Explain the chemistries of some of the phases used in instrumental chromatographic techniques.
4.
Identify suitable sample preparation techniques for a variety of pharmaceutical samples.
5.
Interpret data from qualitative and quantitative chromatographic determinations.
6.
Communicate scientific data in an appropriate format.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be taught through a variety of modes including lecture, EBL and tutorial.
Module Assessment Strategies
This module will be assessed by a number of short tests during the semester and by a final examination.
