Analysis and Pharmaceutical Quality Section (APQ)
The Analysis and Pharmaceutical Quality (APQ) Section of the American
Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) is composed of members whose
interests are in the areas of analytical methods development for bulk drug
substances as well as drugs in pharmaceutical dosage forms and biological
fluids, and methods and procedures for assuring that quality is designed into
pharmaceutical products. APQ provides a forum for the exchange of information
pertaining to analytical techniques, regulatory and compendial issues, and
assurance of quality. By its very nature, APQ is an area which interacts
continually with the other disciplines involved in the development and
production of pharmaceutical products, and many of its programs and activities
are undertaken with other sections of the Association.
