Analysis of psilocybin and psilocin in mushroom extracts by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography.
A method has been developed for the analysis of psilocybin and psilocin in dry and preserved mushrooms using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. A mobile phase of phosphate buffered methanol/water/cetrimonium bromide allows good separation of the two hallucinogens.
