The Rapid Response™ GHB Test Strip (Urine) can detect the presence of GHB in human urine or beverage at concentrations from 10 µg/mL to 50 µg/mL. 

Gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) is a colorless, odorless chemical and has become one of the most dangerous illicit drugs of abuse today. It has become known as one of the “date rape” drugs, and there is an increasing trend that GHB is being used as a recreational drug.

γ-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB)

γ-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) is an endogenous metabolite in the brain and peripheral organs. It has many characteristics of a neurotransmitter and has been studied for potential therapeutic use in the treatment of narcolepsy, drug addiction, and symptoms of withdrawal and to induce anesthesia. However, GHB also is widely abused. At higher doses, GHB produces sedation and a trance-like state with loss of memory. Because it has little smell or taste, it can be ingested un-knowingly.

This combination of properties has made GHB a drug used for drug-facilitated sexual assault, often administered to victims in beverages [1,2].
