This chapter reviews the underlying principles of ion chromatography and its application in pharmaceutical analysis. It provides an overview of eluent systems, applications of gradients, electrolytic eluent generation, suppressors, and stationary phases. Applications of ion chromatography to the confirmation of counter ions, active ingredient analysis, competitive analysis and development work are discussed.

However, competitive analysis has indicated that NO2 cannot be detected or trapped in water (211). The suggestion has been made that different isomers of N2O3 are formed in aqueous and hydrophobic media (214) and that perhaps N02, from dissociation of N2O4, cannot escape the solvent cage before further reacting with NO to form N2O3.

Employing variations of the ELISA technique, the fluorogenic ELISA assays are based on the capture of antigens or antibodies from a solution by an insoluble solid phase. These assays are used to determine concentrations of high molecular weight analytes, to indicate the presence of specific antibodies, or for competitive analysis of low-concentration haptens. A linear capillary... 

The linkage of chemical processes in thermodynamic cycles arising from the definition of the state functions (the state of a system is independent on the way on which it was reached) is a great virtue that can immediately be exploited by calorimetry. In this sense, making use of the protonation properties is just a special case in the much broader field of competition analysis [25]. In fact, any molecular species that is expelled or taken up by the host as a result of binding, the guest of interest may serve as a probe in calorimetric determinations. Prominent examples include the binding or release of metal cations from proteins (e.g. Ca +, Mg +) which can be linked to their complexation by complexones (ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA) or similar).

The T4, total and free, was estimated by using only one antibody via competitive analysis according to schemes (2) and (3), correspondingly. Using the labels obtained, free and total T4 were analyzed in control and patient sera and the results of bioluminescent assay closely correlated with RIA. ...

Once the users and tasks have been characterized, it is sometimes beneficial to conduct a competitive analysis (Nielsen 1993). Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of competitive products or existing systems allows means to leverage strengths and resolve identified weaknesses.

Communications with customers is the most important approach for understanding their requirements. This can be initiated by the customer as well as by the supplier. The customer-initiated feedback can be through formal product requests, product returns, field application data, and audits. The supplier-initiated feedback may include product-performance reviews, market trends, technology integration, competitive analysis, and design-characterization models. 

Peter Glass provides a strong rationale for intravenous therapy including pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic bases for continuous delivery. Glinical complications around intravenous therapy are well summarized by MacCara (1983) and Bohony (1993). The AAMI Standard for Infusion Devices provides a comprehensive means of evaluating infusion device technology, and the British Department of Health OHEI Report 198 provides a competitive analysis of pumps and controllers.
