Analytical Letters January 1, 1982 DOI: 10.1080/00032718208069498 via OpenAlex
Summary
AI-generated from the abstractA spectrofluorimetric method called synchronous excitation is more sensitive and selective than classical spectrofluorimetry for detecting traces of toxic fluorescent substances. The method can directly determine LSD in confiscated samples even when other hallucinogens are present. Under certain conditions, it can also serve as a rapid test for the presence of LSD.

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.
