Title: How techniques for sample digestion & extraction can increase efficiency, throughput and accuracy in drug analysis when utilised prior to separations' methods.
For pre-treatment aspects you are asked to consider extraction and pre-concentration techniques. Selective separations methods can be any of gas, liquid, thin-layer or electrophoretic techniques.
A suggestion would be to focus on at least one of: quantitation techniques in an R&D laboratory; applications in quality control; impurities (incl. residual solvents or elemental metals in APIs and products) and bio-analysis in support of drug delivery.
