1. INTRODUCTION Pharmaceutical Analysis is that core branch of pharmacy education and research, which is advancing very fast. It can be categorized as synthesis of new drugs molecules and pharmaceutical analysis. Analytical chemistry is the science of making quantitative and qualitative evaluation. In practice, quantifying an analyte in a complex sample becomes an exercise in problem resolving. To be efficient and effective, analytical chemist must know the tools that are available to tackle a wide variety of problems. Analytical chemistry is divided into two branches qualitative and quantitative. In this qualitative method provides information about the identity of atomic or molecular species or functional groups in the sample. A quantitative method provides numerical information as to the relative amount of one or more of the components. Varieties of analytical methods are used for the analysis of drugs in bulk, formulations and bioanalytical samples. In pharma industry, spectrophotometric and chromatographic methods have gained the significance in recent studies. Spectrophotometric methods is defined as a method of analysis that embraces the measurement of absorption by chemical species of radiant energy at definite and narrow wavelength approximating monochromatic radiation. There electromagnetic spectrum extends from 100-780 nm. Traditionally, analytical chemistry has been split into two main types, Qualitative And Quantitative: Qualitative Inorganic Analysis seeks
