Summary
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. Manufactured lots of GHB test devices were tested for sensitivity, assay response range, cross-reactivity, precision and stability. Specifically, the lowest and highest ranges of detectable response were determined. The precision of the assay response between device lots was also examined. The influence of common urine interferants as well as compounds with similar chemical structure was also determined. Stability of the device response after exposure to high temperatures and moisture in and outside of original packaging was also examined. The devices appear to have good precision.Within lot precision was within a color scale unit based on the IDS color chart from day to day and between storage containers. The GHB Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate Test (Urine) is a visually interpreted test.
