In pharmaceutical industries and research areas, the characterization of newly synthesized molecules is a critical step.
The synthetic intermediate, active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), degradation product, or reference standard—all these products require confirmation of both the molecular structure and elemental composition.
In this article, we will learn about the significance of elemental analysis in organic chemistry and API impurity characterization. Commonly, the elemental analysis is referred to as CHN analysis.
