Abstract :
A new method for the analysis of drug compounds in liquid materials has been proposed. An electrical impedance spectroscopy system has been designed to be able to collect data, analyze data and visualize the variation of signature characteristic curves at different frequencies. The method is based on the impedance spectroscopy technique to obtain drug signatures, magnitude and phase characteristic curves. The measurement system could be used to identify and quantify drug compounds for pharmaceutical manufacture and clinical purposes
