Abstract

Analysis of pharmaceutical products, as well as their active and inactive ingredients, and identification and characterization of potential impurities originating from raw materials and manufacturing processes is of importance in the field, especially for further assessment of potential positive or negative effects on the human body. In addition to expected therapeutic effects, unfortunately, some unwanted or adverse effects were encountered in the past, resulting in dramatic cases sometimes. These challenges have been overcome with the use of sophisticated and high-end analytical techniques today by focusing on developing more efficient, more accurate, more accessible, and faster determination techniques.
