Improved selective ion monitoring mass-spectrometric assay for the determination of n,n-dimethyltryptamine in human blood utilizing capillary column gas chromatography

Journal of Chromatography B Biomedical Sciences and Applications April 1, 1979 Robert Walker, L Mandel, Joel E. Kleinman et al. 26 citations

Psychedelics can be detected with remarkable precision using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, achieving detection limits as low as 0.1 nanograms per milliliter. In a study of 200 samples, 85% successfully identified various substances through advanced methods in analytical chemistry and chromatography. This approach enhances forensic toxicology and drug analysis by employing techniques like selected ion monitoring to improve accuracy in materials science applications. With a focus on capillary action, the findings contribute significantly to the field of analytical chemistry, particularly in drug studies.
