About the Department
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 2002, to produce competent Pharmaceutical Analyst to meet the present scenario of Pharmaceutical industries. 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.

Welcome message
The Department of Pharmaceutical Analysis aspires to focus on the development of analytical methods that combine novel apparatus and approaches with existing ones. Basic research on the identity, purity, content, and stability of starting materials, excipients, and active medicinal substances is involved. The department teaches and trains postgraduate students in analytical sciences relevant to the qualitative and quantitative estimation of natural, synthetic substances and biological samples in various matrices using spectroscopy, chromatography, and analytical procedures.
Department Activities
The departmental activities are mainly focused on training and handling the modern analytical instruments such as HPLC, HPTLC, Spectrophotometers, Fluorimeter, Flame photometer, etc., by the graduate students and research scholars. The principal remit of the department is the discovery, development, and application of analytical methods and techniques relevant to Pharmaceutical sciences.
Thrust Areas:
- Analytical and Bio analytical method development and validation
- QbD based analytical method optimization
- Impurity Profiling
- Development and validation of stability indicating analytical methods
- Food and cosmetic analysis
- Application of green chemistry for rapid analysis of drugs
- Standardization of Herbal formulations
- Development and evaluation of drugs/ formulations for heavy metal toxicity
Faculty
Teaching environment and quality are central to SRMIST’s capabilities profile. Our Professors are the reason for our continued ability to foster vibrant and value adding learning experiences for our students. The success of our students in terms of their learning and overall development enabled by our faculty members is an area of focus of leadership at SRMIST. Many opportunities are provided to our faculty members to conduct research and engage with the industry in consultancy and other projects. This platform brings to our faculty members an opportunity to expand their knowledge contribution as well as bring those rich experiential inputs to the classrooms and labs therefore benefiting our students.
Infrastructure
The department is housed with sophisticated analytical instruments in separate air-conditioned rooms. Proper maintenance and utilization of the analytical instruments are carried out under the supervision of well-trained faculty members. Emphasis is laid on imparting hands on experience to each and every student in handling all the analytical instruments. The department has separate labs for postgraduate and undergraduate students which are well furnished and designed to permit students ample working space.
