Current Advance Analytical Techniques: A Review

The analytical industry today is showing a serious shift in the paradigm worldwide with advancements in technological compatibility and integration. Traditional analytical approaches including HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph), GC (Gas Chromatograph), UV (Ultraviolet) detection, etc., have become insufficient to effectively address the growing number of challenges in analyses of species-specificity and sensitivity. This has given rise to investigate and offer highly advanced hyphenated techniques that meet the needs of high-technology oriented applications. Hyphenation -linking together of "standard" analytical techniques -generally leads to enhanced analytical performance. The biggest advantage of hyphenated speciation techniques is the ability to detect species other than the pre-conceived compounds. The advancement of analytical techniques is thus bringing a new era of development which will serve as a rapid and unambiguous tool in the drug development process.
