yes.

Tryptophan and tryptamine, as well as several of its derivatives, absorb strongly @ 280 nm, it is the wavelength of max. abs. observed in UV spectroscopy.
These were samples in hexanes, 365 nm.

5-MeO, also in hexanes

What is the look of those liquids under normal light? Fully transparent or milky?

I guess it will work equally well for dissolved DMT salts in acid?

Can an ordinary ghetto chemist use a UV light to get a clue about DMT concentration?

Does the UV light destroy a small portion of the DMT?

hexane? hexane has no pi-bonds (double-bonds), thus it does not absorb UV.

only qualitatively

No I meant the same hexane DMT solution under non-UV light.

Decent!

they appeared clear under normal light. if they were cloudy white, they would glow more intensely under UV; so as you inferred, some observations regarding concentration can be extrapolated from the intensity of the fluorescence. This is the fundamental principle behind UV/fluorescence spectroscopy.
