This book is built upon the success of our earlier edition of Laboratory Manual of Industrial Pharmacy published in 2006. Now, it is updated and tailored to meet the requirements of PCI’s Bachelor of Pharmacy regulations 2014 and Pharm D regulations 2008 and designed specifically for the practical components of 5th semester of B. Pharmacy and 3rd year of Pharm D.

   All relevant experiments are consolidated into one comprehensive resource, while retaining the familiar structure and readability.

   Special emphasis is maintained on the lines of expectations.
     1. Concepts and principles are applied to the pharmacy.
     2. Model calculations in processing the raw data independently.
     3. Illustrations facilitate organizing one’s laboratory work cohesively.
     4. Question bank is included to guide the student to perform well in viva voce.
