An evaluation was undertaken to determine if isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) could assist in the investigation of complex forensic cases by providing a level of discrimination not achievable utilising traditional forensic techniques. The focus of the research was on ammonium nitrate (AN), a c

✦ Synopsis
was created in order to develop statistical models for predicting the membership of a specimen to a relevant source. Furthermore, the conservation of the carbon isotope ratio between a precursor and its GHB end-product will be evaluated as well. This aspect is of major importance and could be extended to precursors profiling on an international level to develop refined geographical strategies to control them. GHB, GBL, and 1,4-BD samples were obtained from different police departments in Switzerland, from internet retailers of various countries and several regular chemicals suppliers. Significant differences in the carbon isotopic ratio (δ 13 C-values ranging from -23.1‰ to -46‰) were found between all GBL samples. Accordingly, this method demonstrates a high potential to distinguish between GBL, GHB, or 1,4-BD samples of various sources.
