Analysis of Drug Impurities

Maciej Stawny, Mikotaj Piekarski, and Barbara Marciniec 

Although the development of trace analysis is considered to have begun with studies related to the determination of trace elements, from the pharmaceutical point of view, the beginning of this field of science should be sought in the analysis of dmgs and especially in the search for active compounds in different t3 pes of pharmaceutical decoctions, tinctures, and macerations. Isolation of opium and later morphine from poppy juice, or isolation of quinine from cinchona tree bark, were nothing other than preparation and concentration of a sample before performing trace analysis [1-3].
