Summary
Psychedelics can be detected at incredibly low levels, showcasing the power of advanced analytical techniques. In a recent investigation using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and solid-phase microextraction, researchers achieved a detection limit of just 0.1 ng/mL for various psychedelics. The study analyzed samples from 150 participants, revealing that 85% had detectable levels of these substances. This highlights the effectiveness of chromatography and mass spectrometry in biochemical analysis, paving the way for improved drug studies and understanding of psychedelic compounds in chemistry.
