Abstract:
Ensuring the quality of medicine is a global challenge. The demand for pure and safe medicines is increasing day by day. Thus, elemental impurities detection in pharmaceutical products is of great concern. New regulations for elemental impurities are now implemented by various authorities and included in guidelines. In recent years, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) emerged as the best technique for quantification of impurities in pharmaceutical products. Many guidelines also have instructions for using ICP-OES in pharmaceutical analysis to measure the quality of the products. At the same time, it is playing a vital role in the determination of elements in human blood, urine and other biological fields. This article will focus on the application of ICP-OES along with the principle and operation to reveal its importance in the pharmaceutical industry.
