Cover Story: In this work, we present for the first time a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) protocol for the detection of the common antidepressant amitriptyline in dried blood and dried saliva samples. The validated protocol is rapid and non-destructive, with a detection limit of 95 ppb and a linear range which covers the therapeutic window of amitriptyline in biological fluids. The ability to rapidly measure amitriptyline is of interest across a variety of disciplines, particularly in clinical settings where therapeutic drug monitoring is required, and also in forensic investigations. In these settings, the analysis of dried biological samples is increasingly popular. SERS analysis of dried biological samples for amitriptyline offers rapid analysis, whilst eliminating sample pre-treatment, and will be of interest in a variety of disciplines. View this paper
