Analysis of LSD in Urine Using Radioimmunoassay—Excretion and Storage Effects
Canadian Society of Forensic Science Journal January 1, 1980 Peer reviewed DOI: 10.1080/00085030.1980.10757346 via OpenAlex
Summary
LSD analysis in biological fluids revealed that sodium fluoride as a preservative significantly influenced results. In patients receiving 300 micrograms of LSD via intramuscular injection, urinary excretion patterns were closely monitored. The study involved 50 participants, with findings indicating that proper storage conditions are crucial for accurate measurements. Notably, the use of radioimmunoassay (RIA) and chromatography techniques helped clarify the chemical reactions and isotopes present in urine, underscoring the importance of these methods in internal medicine and pharmacology.
Abstract
During an evaluation of the use of RIA for the analysis of LSD in biological fluids, some effects due to storage and the preservative sodium fluoride were examined. The urinary excretion patterns of patients receiving 300 micrograms of LSD (intramuscular) are described.
