2. Major and Minor Elements (for composition and identification):
Beyond impurities, elemental analysis is also used to:
-
Confirm the elemental composition of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and excipients as part of identity and purity testing.
-
Quantify active ingredients if they are metal-containing compounds.
-
Determine the concentration of specific elements in raw materials to ensure they meet specifications (e.g., specific minerals or salts).
-
Assess the presence of other elements that might impact product stability or performance, even if not directly toxic. This can include elements like:
- Sodium (Na)
- Potassium (K)
- Calcium (Ca)
- Magnesium (Mg)
- Iron (Fe)
- Zinc (Zn)
- Aluminium (Al)
- Boron (B)
- Sulphur (S)
- Chlorine (Cl)
