Detects GHB in beverages
Easy & Convenient
4 Tests Per Card
- Peel off the protective seal to use a test pad. Unused test pads will still have the protective seal on.
- Dip your finger in your drink, then dab onto the test pad. You must add enough sample to cover the whole pad for the test to work.
- Wait 60 seconds before reading the results. You must read the results within 10 minutes. If 10 minutes has passed, results are no longer valid and you will need to perform a new test again to get accurate results.
- Compare the test pad colour result to the colour (pie) chart surrounding the pad.
Please read the instructions provided with your test kit.
Compare the colour of the test pad to the colour chart that surrounds the pad. A colour match to the wedge with the Positive (+) means the sample contained GHB. A colour match to the wedge with the Negative (–) means GHB could not be detected.

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 [2,3].
