TLDR A new sensor can detect minoxidil accurately and effectively.
This study demonstrated the development of a voltammetric sensor for detecting minoxidil using a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) integrated into a carbon paste electrode (CPE). The MIP-CPE showed superior recognition ability for minoxidil compared to a non-imprinted polymer electrode. The sensor was optimized and exhibited a linear response for minoxidil concentrations ranging from 1 to 400 nM, with a detection limit of 0.3 nM. The sensor's selectivity was confirmed, and it was successfully applied to real samples with various matrices.
