A method to detect and measure LSD in blood serum uses liquid-liquid extraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of a trimethylsilyl derivative. Tests on spiked samples recovered 76% of the LSD, with a coefficient of variation of 9.3%. The method is linear across 0.1–10 ng/ml. The work also presents evidence of LSD's sensitivity to light and includes case examples.
