What Are the Challenges in Pharmaceutical Analysis?
Pharmaceutical analysis faces several challenges, including:
- Complexity of Biological Matrices: Biological samples contain numerous compounds, making it difficult to isolate and identify drugs and their metabolites. - Sensitivity and Specificity: Analytical methods must be sensitive enough to detect low concentrations of drugs and specific enough to distinguish them from similar compounds. - Evolving Drug Formulations: New drug formulations and delivery systems require constant adaptation of analytical methods.
