Pharma CareersPrecipitation titrations Precipitation titrations are a type of titration that involves the formation of a precipitate during the titration process. In a precipitation titration, a solution of a known concentration (the titrant) is added to a solution of the substance being studied (the analyte). The titrant reacts with the analyte to produce a precipitate, which … Read more
Introduction Non-aqueous titration refers to a type of titration in which the analyte substance is dissolved in a solvent that does not contain water. This procedure is significant in pharmacopoeial assays. The need for non-aqueous titration arises because water can behave as a weak base and a weak acid, and can hence compete in proton … Read more
Acid base titrations Acid-base titration is a quantitative analytical chemistry technique used to determine the concentration of an unknown acid or base solution by neutralizing it with a standard solution of known concentration. The process involves the gradual addition of the titrant (the solution of known concentration) to the analyte (the solution of unknown concentration) … Read more
Errors Errors in pharmaceutical analysis refer to the discrepancies between the standard values and the true value. These errors can affect the accuracy and reliability of pharmaceutical analysis, and it’s crucial to identify and minimize them to ensure the quality and safety of pharmaceutical products. In this article we will see sources of errors, types … Read more
Semisolid dosage forms Semisolid dosage forms are medications that are neither solid nor liquid, but somewhere in between. They are typically applied to the skin, nasal mucosa, cornea, rectal or vaginal tissue, buccal tissue, ear, or urethral membrane. Examples include ointments, pastes, creams, emulsions, gels, and rigid foams. They contain one or more active ingredients … Read more
Pharmaceutical incompatibilities Pharmaceutical incompatibilities refer to situations where two or more substances are mixed or come into contact, resulting in a negative effect on the quality, stability, efficacy, or safety of one or more of the substances. Incompatibilities can occur between different drugs, drug components, excipients, or drug delivery systems. It’s important to identify and … Read more

Suppositories A suppository is a solid medical preparation in a roughly conical or cylindrical shape, designed to be inserted into the rectum or vagina to dissolve. It’s a dosage form used to deliver medications by insertion into a body orifice, where it dissolves or melts to exert local or systemic effects. It’s a solid but … Read more
Emulsion Emulsion is a biphasic liquid disperse system where the dispersed phase is composed of small globules of a liquid distributed throughout in an immiscible vehicle. In emulsion terminology, the dispersed phase is referred to as the discontinuous or internal phase, and the dispersion medium is the continuous or external phase. The diameter of the … Read more
Biphasic liquid dosage forms Biphasic liquid dosage forms such as suspensions and emulsions, are pharmaceutical preparations that consist of two distinct, immiscible phases. These two phases can be different according to their composition, density, and solubility. biphasic liquids are of two types, such as suspensions and emulsions, consisting two immiscible phases. In this article we … Read more
