Psilocybin Analyse
Psilocybin Analysis
Our analytical laboratory offers qualitative and quantitative determination of the main alkaloids in psilocybin-containing mushrooms using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode array detection (DAD). The relevant tryptamine derivatives psilocybin, psilocin, baeocystin, norbaeocystin, and aeruginascin are detected. The method enables precise separation and identification of these substances based on their characteristic absorption spectra and retention times. Scope of services: - Drying of the sample material to constant weight - Gentle extraction of the alkaloids and chromatographic separation - Qualitative and quantitative determination of the main alkaloids - Issuance of a certificate with concentration data (wt. %) Area of application: The analysis enables the chemical characterization and quantitative determination of psilocybin in mushroom samples. It can be used in research and also contribute to health prevention by helping to rule out the unintentional ingestion of psilocybin-containing mushrooms.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TEST PROCEDURE
It is important that the sampling is carried out according to our instructions. For invalid tests resulting from incorrectly taken samples, the costs must be borne by the customer.
