title: Advances in automation of pharmaceutical analysis.
abstract: The development of a new drug substance and its dosage forms demands the establishment and implementation of suitable analytical methods. Through the application of chemometrics, "intelligent" laboratory systems and integrated data handling systems, considerable progress is being made in automating both the development and routine use of analytical methods in pharmaceutical analysis.
