  Harris referred Penn to Stanley Parsons, chair of the department, who began the research with graduate student Dawn Bravo.
  ...
  "She knows a lot about cloning and I knew we needed to clone the enzyme in the bacterium," Parsons said.
  
  The task proved to be successful.Bravo and Parsons were able to develop a test that is so sensitive to GHB that the drug can be detected in just one quarter of a drop of urine, blood or alcoholic beverage.
  ...
  Parsons said corporations have also expressed interest in marketing the new patent for professional use.
  
  "Companies might be willing to develop the invention and bring it to market," said Parsons.

  Authorities have also complained that previous methods of testing are too complicated and expensive, Parsons said, often taking up to two days for test results.

  ...
  Since the development of the test, Parsons said corporations have also expressed interest in marketing the method for professional use.
  ...
  Parsons said a beverage with as little alcohol content as wine would be enough to throw off the test.
  
  "The problem we're stuck at is to devise a test kit that might include a battery to heat and evaporate the alcohol," he said.

  "I haven't had complaints about that yet," says Stanley M. Parsons, professor and chair of the chemistry and biochemistry department at UC Santa Barbara."A lot of faculty members will get an unpleasant surprise in September when they have to pay these fees for their students."Parsons himself is counting on a student to finish her Ph.D. this summer, and he's unlikely to take on another this fall.
