| Abstract | γ-Hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and γ-butyrolactone (GBL) are used as “date rape drugs” since they cause catalepsy and memory loss. A new application of secondary electrospray ionization (SESI) mass spectrometry for in situ detection of GHB and GBL in drinks and body fluids is introduced. Different mass spectrometers were compared, including a portable, miniaturized ion trap, a semi mobile bench-top ion trap, and a quadrupole time-of-flight instrument. Direct ionization of GHB and GBL from the headspace of drinks was shown, and the suitability for on-site measurements was tested. Several matrices including various drinks as well as body fluids such as urine and saliva were analyzed. SESI provides a robust, reliable, fast, and efficient ionization method, which is largely independent of the mass spectrometer and the matrix used. The detection limits for GHB and GBL in drinks were found to be always below 0.5 g L−1, which is sufficient to identify them in beverages (a dose of about 2 g L−1 is commonly used). 8 mg L−1 GHB were detectable in urine, which suffices to identify an intoxicated individual. Overall, GHB and GBL can be detected in drinks and small leftovers of drinks as well as in body fluids at concentration levels that are of practical relevance. With a mobile MS instrument, this method could be applied as a diagnostic as well as a preventive on-site method. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
