Pharmaceutical analysis is a branch of chemistry that involves a series of processes for the identification, determination, quantitation, and purification of different pharmaceutical agents. It is mainly used for the separation of components from a mixture and for the determination of the structure of compounds. The purpose of pharmaceutical analysis is to identify substances, purify them, separate them, quantify them, and determine the molecular structures of chemical compounds that make up the pharmaceutical products. There are two types of analytical methods based on the determination type:

• Qualitative analysis: This method is used for the identification of chemical compounds present in a sample, such as elucidating a molecules structure and determining its molecular weight when present in samples.

• Quantitative analysis: This method is used for the determination of the amount of the sample, including quantitative or quantitative evaluations of the component quantities, weights, or concentrations in the sample.

Pharmaceutical analysis has a wide range of applications, including the classification of a compound according to its chemical properties, analysis of mixtures for compounds, separating components from mixtures, purification, identification, and more. The samples used in pharmaceutical analysis are typically finished pharmaceutical products, biological samples, impurities, contaminants, and pharmaceutical raw materials. Various analytical techniques can be used for pharmaceutical analysis, including spectroscopy, chromatography, and other methods. The development of procedures for analysis is a key element in ensuring that the final product corresponds to what is expected and does not contain impurities.
