Description :
g-hydroxybutryric laltone (GHL) can be hydrolysed into g-hydroxybutryric acid (GHB), which can be detected by PGD.  g-hydroxybutyric acid has been employed as an intravenous anaesthetic agent since 1960.  However, it has been widely abused for its euphoric affects and supposed sexual enhancement capabilities.  GHB has been associated with sexual assault cases in cities throughout the US.  GHB and GHL are usually tested for forensic purposes.
