INTRODUCTION
 It is consists of measuring the potential or emf of a
solution using set of indicator and reference
electrode.
 It is based on potential measurement of
electrochemical cells without any appreciable current.
 The use of electrodes to measure voltages from
chemical reactions.
 The potential of a solution depends on the nature and
concentration of the ions of the drug absorption.
 The potential is measured in mV using a
potentiometer.

PRICIPLE
 The principle is based on the fact that the potential of the
given sample is directly proportional to the concentration
of its electroactive ions.
 In the potentiometry is when the pair of electrode is
placed in the sample solution it shows the potential
differences by the addition of the titrant.
