minoxidil flow injection analysis glassy carbon electrode Rogaine

TLDR Method accurately measures minoxidil concentration in medicines.

The paper presents a method for determining the concentration of minoxidil in different pharmaceutical formulations using flow injection analysis with a glassy carbon electrode. The method was found to be accurate, sensitive, and reproducible, and did not require any previous operations such as separations, extractions, or filtration. The proposed method generated sharp current responses and showed good correlations with the declared values of the drug samples. The authors acknowledge financial support from various organizations.
