Identification and Determination of Lsd in Illicit Preparations Using Synchronous Spectro Fluorimetry

Summary

A novel synchronous excitation method in molecular fluorescence significantly enhances the detection of LSD, even amidst other hallucinogens. This technique demonstrates greater sensitivity and selectivity compared to traditional methods. In tests involving confiscated samples, it effectively identifies traces of LSD, offering a promising rapid testing approach. The study illustrates the potential of advanced fluorescence spectroscopy in analytical chemistry, with implications for drug studies and chromatography applications, particularly in identifying toxic substances.

Abstract

Abstract Molecular fluorescence is much in use nowadays as an analytical technique, particularly for the determination of traces of toxic fluorescent substances. The authors describe a spectrofluorimetric method, called the synchronous excitation method, which is more sensitive and more selective than the classical spectrofluorimetry and which can be used for the direct determination, in the presence of other hallucinogens, of LSD in confiscated samples. They also propose the application, under certain conditions, of the method as a rapid test for the presence of LSD.
