Perry G. Wang142005953X, 9781420059533

High throughput analysis plays a critical role in the pharmaceutical industry. The ever-shortening timelines and high costs of drug discovery and development have brought about the need for high throughput approaches to methods that are currently used in the industry. Written and edited by well-known contributors who remain active in this line of research, this book systematically describes high throughput analysis for the pharmaceutical industry, including advanced instrumentation and automated sample preparation. The text discusses various techniques, including HPLC, MALDI-MS, and LC-MS/MS methods, with an emphasis on the later stage of drug development, including pharmacokinetics.
