The students conducted general pharmacopoeial methods for the physical, chemical, and physicochemical analysis of dosage forms (tablets, capsules, ointments, solutions for injections, and medicinal plant materials) in all qualitative indicators.

Trainees also participated in master classes by leading experts on such important topics as elemental analysis of medicines by burning in oxygen flasks and determining nitrogen in organic medicines by the Kjeldahl method, instrumental methods of analysis (GC, HPLC), determination of moisture by K.
