Objective
Etizolam continues to challenge popular portable drug checking technologies as it is often present in low concentrations as a result of its high potency.
Findings/Key points
We have demonstrated the potential of SERS for trace detection of etizolam within complex sample matrices.
Design/methods
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.
