Today we sit down with Kevin Schug, the Shimadzu Distinguished Professor of Analytical Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, to chat about his work using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry to measure psilocybin potency in magic mushrooms. We geek out on all the analytical equipment, how they work, and what goes into analytically testing magic mushrooms for potency and even novel compounds.
