T1 - Strip-based lateral flow-type indicator displacement assay for γ-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) detection in beverages N2 - The use of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) in drug-facilitated sexual assault has increased due to its availability and high solubility in aqueous solutions and alcoholic beverages, necessitating the development of rapid methods for GHB detection. In this respect, portable testing methods for use in the field, based on lateral flow assays (LFAs) and capable of detecting trace concentrations of target analytes, are particularly attractive and hold enormous potential for the detection of illicit drugs. Using this strategy, here we report a rapid, low cost, easy-to-handle strip-based LFA for GHB analysis employing a smartphone for fluorescence readout. At molecular signalling level, the ensemble is based on a Cu2+ complex with a tetradentate ligand and the fluorescent dye coumarin 343, which indicate GHB through an indicator displacement assay (IDA) in aqueous solution. When incorporated in a LFA-based strip test this system shows a detection limit as low as 0.03 μM for GHB in MES buffer solution and is able to detect GHB at concentrations of 0.1 μM in soft drinks and alcoholic beverages in only 1 min.

The molecular logic gate can also act as a digital comparator between the inputs.
