This field encompasses a broad range of techniques and methodologies used to identify, quantify, and characterize active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and their impurities, as well as excipients and degradation products within a drug formulation. The primary goal of lääkeanalytiikka is to ensure the quality, safety, efficacy, and stability of pharmaceutical products throughout their lifecycle, from development and manufacturing to storage and distribution.
Key analytical techniques employed in lääkeanalytiikka include chromatography, such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas
The applications of lääkeanalytiikka are diverse and critical. It is fundamental in drug discovery and development
