Description
Flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) Serum Analysis via HPLC-DAD | 15-Day TAT Chemistry Testing
The Flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) Serum Analysis offered by Lab Tests Dubai is a high-precision forensic and clinical diagnostic test designed to detect and quantify flunitrazepam—a potent, controlled benzodiazepine infamously known as the “date rape drug”—in the bloodstream.
Using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Diode Array Detection (HPLC-DAD), this serum-based test delivers lab-confirmed, court-admissible results with exceptional sensitivity and specificity. With a 15-day turnaround time, it is ideal for forensic investigations, clinical intoxication cases, and medical-legal evaluations.
Due to its powerful sedative, amnesic, and muscle-relaxant effects, flunitrazepam is often misused in drug-facilitated crimes. This test provides critical evidence for victims, healthcare providers, law enforcement, and legal teams—ensuring timely intervention and justice.
At Lab Tests Dubai, we offer this confidential, CLIA-standard test with secure sample handling and home collection available—ensuring privacy and dignity during sensitive situations.
Why You Need This Test
Flunitrazepam is not prescribed in the UAE and is strictly prohibited due to its high potential for abuse. However, it remains a concern in drug-facilitated assaults, overdoses, and forensic cases.
You may need this test if:
- You suspect unauthorized sedation or memory loss after a social event
- You experienced sudden drowsiness, confusion, or amnesia
- You’re a healthcare provider managing a suspected overdose
- You’re involved in a legal or criminal investigation
- You need post-exposure documentation for medical or legal purposes
- You’re supporting a loved one who may have been drugged
This test is not for routine screening—it is a specialized forensic tool for confirming exposure and guiding next steps.
Symptoms That Indicate This Test
Consider this test if you or someone you know has experienced:
- Sudden, unexplained drowsiness or sedation
- Memory gaps or complete amnesia (anterograde amnesia)
- Confusion, disorientation, or hallucinations
- Impaired coordination or slurred speech
- Muscle weakness or loss of motor control
- Waking up feeling violated or unsure of events
- Suspected drink spiking or exposure in a public setting
These symptoms may indicate benzodiazepine intoxication, and flunitrazepam is one of the most dangerous due to its potency and amnesic effects.
Natural Production: Is Flunitrazepam Naturally in the Body?
No—flunitrazepam is a synthetic drug and is not naturally produced by the human body. It belongs to the benzodiazepine class, which enhances the effect of GABA, a neurotransmitter that reduces brain activity—leading to:
- Deep sedation
- Muscle relaxation
- Anxiety reduction
- Memory impairment (amnesia)
Because it is metabolized quickly, detection requires timely, sensitive testing. The HPLC-DAD methodused by Lab Tests Dubai can identify trace amounts of flunitrazepam and its metabolites, even in complex biological matrices.
Factors affecting detection:
- Time since ingestion
- Dose consumed
- Individual metabolism
- Use of other drugs or alcohol
This test confirms presence and quantifies levels, which is crucial for medical treatment and legal documentation.
What Happens If Untreated or Undetected? Risks of Flunitrazepam Exposure
Ignoring suspected flunitrazepam exposure can lead to devastating consequences:
⚠️ Physical Harm:
- Respiratory depression
- Coma or death (especially when mixed with alcohol)
⚠️ Psychological Trauma:
- Long-term anxiety, PTSD, or depression
- Memory gaps affecting legal testimony
⚠️ Legal & Social Risks:
- Inability to report a crime without evidence
- Delayed justice due to lack of toxicology proof
⚠️ Repeat Victimization:
- Perpetrators may reoffend if not identified
Early testing ensures:
- Proper medical care (e.g., flumazenil for overdose)
- Forensic evidence collection
- Access to support services and legal protection
How to Prepare for the Test
This test requires urgent action for best results:
✅ Get tested within 12–24 hours of suspected exposure (ideal detection window)
✅ Avoid alcohol, sedatives, or other drugs before testing
✅ Inform the lab of any medications (e.g., other benzodiazepines, antidepressants)
✅ Do not shower or change clothes immediately after the incident—preserve evidence
✅ Bring any suspected drink containers (if available) for forensic review
A serum blood sample is collected under confidential, secure conditions—available at our Dubai labs or via discreet home collection.
Test Overview: Gold-Standard HPLC-DAD Methodology
| Feature | Details |
| Test Name | Flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) Serum Analysis |
| Sample Type | Serum (Blood) |
| Methodology | High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Diode Array Detection (HPLC-DAD) |
| Turnaround Time (TAT) | 15 Days |
| Category | Forensic Chemistry / Toxicology |
| Purpose | Detect and quantify flunitrazepam in suspected intoxication or assault cases |

HPLC-DAD is the gold standard for drug confirmation:
- Separates compounds with high precision
- Detects flunitrazepam at nanogram levels
- Provides spectral confirmation to avoid false positives
- Results are admissible in court when chain-of-custody is maintained
This test is not a screening tool—it is a confirmatory, quantitative forensic analysis.
FAQs About the Flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) Test
Q: Can this test detect flunitrazepam after 24 hours?
A: Possibly, but less likely. Blood detection window is 6–24 hours. Urine tests may extend to 3 days, but serum is most accurate early.
Q: Is the test confidential?
A: Yes. We ensure 100% privacy and can coordinate with legal or medical professionals if needed.
Q: Can I book without a doctor’s referral?
A: Yes. Lab Tests Dubai allows direct booking—ideal for personal or legal cases.
Q: Is this test admissible in court?
A: Yes—when performed with proper documentation and chain of custody.
Q: Can other benzodiazepines cause a false positive?
A: No. HPLC-DAD is compound-specific and can distinguish flunitrazepam from diazepam, alprazolam, etc.
Q: How will I get results?
A: A secure digital report is emailed within 15 business days, including concentration and method validation.
If you suspect you’ve been drugged, you deserve answers and justice. The Flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) Serum Analysis at Lab Tests Dubai offers scientific clarity, medical support, and forensic credibility—all with utmost discretion and care.
