About
Justus Beike is a forensic toxicologist whose research focuses on the sensitive and specific detection of cannabinoids in biological matrices, particularly human hair. His most cited work, published in 2018, introduces a validated method for the simultaneous quantification of THC-COOH, OH-THC, and other cannabinoids using gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry with automated sample preparation. This contribution is critical for distinguishing active cannabis consumption from passive environmental exposure—a long-standing challenge in forensic drug testing. By enabling the reliable measurement of both parent compounds and key metabolites, Beike’s methodology enhances the evidential value of hair analysis in workplace, legal, and clinical settings. With 23 citations, this paper has become a reference point for laboratories seeking robust, automated workflows. Beike’s work sits at the intersection of analytical chemistry and forensic practice, addressing real-world needs for accuracy and defensibility in drug monitoring. His research continues to shape best practices in cannabinoid toxicology, offering practical solutions for complex analytical problems.
