UV-Visible Spectroscopy: Pharmaceutical Analy

The assignment, "UV-Visible Spectroscopy: Pharmaceutical Quality Control and Design Thinking Innovation", is evaluated out of 100 points. Core concepts (20 points) require accurate explanations of electronic transitions, chromophores, auxochromes, spectral shifts, solvent effects, and Beer-Lambert’s law with equations/diagrams. Instrumentation (15 points) demands a detailed overview of radiation sources, wavelength selectors, sample cells, and detectors with visuals. The case study (25 points) involves thorough analysis of pharmaceutical impurity detection (e.g., aspirin) using spectrophotometric titrations and multi-component analysis, addressing deviations and solvent effects with calculations. Design thinking (20 points) requires applying Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test stages for a UV-Vis innovation with a prototype sketch. Applications (10 points) must link concepts to single/multi-component analysis and practical utility. Report and presentation quality (10 points) should be clear, professional, and engaging with visuals. Penalties include -5 points/day for late submission, -10 for plagiarism, and -5 for missing sections, with a +5 bonus for innovative elements (e.g., simulations).
