Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and phenylethylamine derivatives (NBOHs and NBOMes) are commonly found on seized blotter papers, posing public health risks. Efficient screening methods for identifying these substances are currently limited. To address this, a novel protocol combining colorimetric and electrochemical techniques was developed as a screening method for drugs of abuse in blotter...
In response to the growing need for sustainable analytical methods, this study explores the repurposing of screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) that would otherwise be discarded. This involves recoating the working electrode surface with a graphite (Gr) and chitosan (CTS) dispersion, creating a reusable SPE (SPE-Gr/CTS). Demonstrating its utility, SPE-Gr/CTS was employed for the detection of...
Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is a prevalent psychoactive substance recognized for its hallucinogenic properties, often encountered in blotter papers for illicit consumption. Given that LSD ranks among the most widely abused illicit drugs globally, its prompt identification in seized samples is vital for forensic investigations. This study presents, for the first time, an electrochemical...
