This document discusses instrumental methods of analysis used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of drugs. It describes the scope, objectives, types of analysis, and applications of instrumental analysis. The objectives are to understand interactions of matter with electromagnetic radiation and its applications in drug analysis, understand chromatographic separation and analysis of drugs, and perform quantitative and qualitative drug analysis using analytical instruments. Types of analysis include classical wet chemical methods and modern instrumental methods using techniques like chromatography, spectroscopy, and electrophoresis. Applications include biomedical analysis, pharmaceutical quality control, environmental monitoring, and forensic science.
