About this book
Prominent experts explain the pharmacology and metabolism of benzodiazepines (LDB) and g-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) and offer powerful and effective methodologies that will enable better detection of these drugs in various body fluids, as well as in hair. The techniques include highly sensitive immunoassay detection of LDBs, the detection of Rohypnol® and other LDBs by mass spectrometry, and the ultrasensitive detection of GHB. State-of-the-art and highly practical, Benzodiazepines and GHB: Detection and Pharmacology offers toxicologists, forensic scientists, and clinical chemists today's most effective methods for detecting these widely abused drugs that are sometimes found associated with criminal acts.

Reviews
"...this work is of value. It provides toxicologists with important information, and, since most of its authors are respected forensic toxicologists (P. Kintz, M. Elsohly, D. Crouch, etc.), its content is highly appropriate to forensic toxicology. It reads easily and should find a choice place on shelves of toxicologists interested in the detection and pharmacology of benzos and GHB in forensic cases, especially those relating to sexual assaults." - Canadian Society of Forensic Science Journal
