Abstract:

This project introduces an enhanced approach to the experimental preparation of Sodium Ferric Ethylenediaminetetraacetate (NaFeEDTA) as an iron supplement. Bridging theoretical concepts with practical manufacturing, the experimental design is aligned with pharmaceutical production processes. It incorporates a comprehensive set of modules, ranging from experimental design and drug preparation to structural identification and purity analysis. The project transforms the experiment from a validation-based exercise to a holistic, design-oriented experiment. Students are guided to consider quality control, safety protocols, and environmental protection as part of their experimental design. This experimental framework accommodates multiple patent pathways, stimulating students' investigative interests and fostering skills in experimental design and critical thinking. It aims to enhance students' problem-solving capabilities, improve their scientific literacy, and boost their confidence in the field.

Key words: Preparation of NaFeEDTA iron supplement, Experiment improvement, Scheme design
