L’objectif

Etizolam continues to challenge popular portable drug checking technologies as it is often present in low concentrations as a result of its high potency.

Constatations/points à retenir

We have demonstrated the potential of SERS for trace detection of etizolam within complex sample matrices.

La conception ou méthodologie de recherche

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) using a portable Raman spectrometer is used to establish a univariate model for the detection of etizolam in opioid drug mixtures (n=100) obtained from the Vancouver Island Drug Checking Project.
