The present study deals with the development of a new qualitative electrochemical analytic test for detecting the chemotherapeutic agent Nitrofural. The combination of sodium amminepentacyanoferrate(II) and electric power, provided by a 9V battery, was successfully implemented for the analysis of the medicine in question.
