About
Madeline A. Montgomery is a forensic chemist whose work has advanced the rapid, reliable detection of cannabinoids in biological matrices. Her research centers on developing and validating high-throughput analytical methods for drugs of abuse, with a particular focus on tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and its metabolites in urine. Her most-cited paper, "A fast method for screening and/or quantitation of tetrahydrocannabinol and metabolites in urine by automated SPE/LC/MS/MS" (2010, 20 citations), introduced a streamlined approach combining automated solid-phase extraction with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. This method significantly reduced analysis time while maintaining sensitivity and specificity, offering a practical solution for forensic and clinical laboratories handling large sample volumes. Montgomery’s contributions have directly impacted workplace drug testing, impaired driving investigations, and clinical toxicology, providing a robust framework for cannabinoid quantification. Her work exemplifies the integration of automation and mass spectrometry to enhance efficiency in forensic toxicology, and she remains a respected voice in method development for drug screening.
