A glassy carbon electrode modified with an ionic liquid and tetraruthenated zinc porphyrin improves the voltammetric detection of N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) compared to an unmodified electrode. The modified electrode achieves a low detection limit of 1.75 µM, a short response time, a satisfactory linear concentration range, and very good stability and reproducibility. This method offers a feasible and inexpensive way to detect DMT in water and has potential for detecting DMT in urine.
