Infrared spectroscopy British Pharmacopoeia

There are a variety of analytical methods commonly used for the characterization of neat soap and bar soaps. Many of these methods have been pubUshed as official methods by the American Oil Chemists Society (29). Additionally, many analysts choose United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), British Pharmacopoeia (BP), or Pood Chemical Codex (FCC) methods. These methods tend to be colorimetric, potentiometric, or titrametric procedures. However, a variety of instmmental techniques are also frequendy utilized, eg, gas chromatography, high performance Hquid chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. 

A host of pharmaceutical substances can be identified and critically examined with the help of infrared spectroscopy. Hence, the latest versions of British Pharmacopoeia (BP) and United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) contain the complete IR-spectrum of such pure pharmaceutical substances that are essentially included in the respective official compendium. These authentic IR-spectra are profusely used in many well-equipped Quality Assurance Laboratories in checking the purity of commercially available drugs before employing them in various formulations. 

European Pharmacopoeia (EP) 6.0 [6] and British Pharmacopoeia (BP) 2009 [7] use infrared absorption spectroscopy and a solution test for bromide ion to identify rocuronium bromide. For the infrared absorption...
