Abstract

Lysergic acid diethylamide, psilocin and psilocybin are neuroactive drugs. They can be use in experimental treatment in psychiatry, but also as illicit drugs for hallucinations and relaxation.

These two types of use indicates that their monitoring in environment and in the body fluids is necessary. Electrochemistry offers fast, simple and easy methods for the determination with the possibility to use laboratorymanufactured electrodes from 3D printed materials.

They offers many benefits, for example desired shape or diameter of the electrode, good developed signals, and low background currents. The advantage of this procedure is described in this contribution.
