About
Andrej Jaroslav Rode is a leading figure in forensic toxicology, whose work has fundamentally advanced the detection of drugs in biological samples. His primary research focuses on developing high-throughput, comprehensive screening methods for whole blood, enabling the simultaneous identification of a vast array of illicit and medicinal substances. His most cited work, a 2013 study, introduced a groundbreaking method combining fully automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-TOF-MS). This method, which screens for 256 different analytes, set a new standard for efficiency and breadth in forensic analysis, dramatically improving the speed and reliability of drug detection. With 78 citations, this paper is a cornerstone reference in the field, demonstrating Rode’s profound impact on modern forensic practice. His contributions have been instrumental in moving toxicology toward more automated, robust, and comprehensive analytical workflows, directly benefiting clinical and forensic laboratories worldwide.
