About

Eshwar Jagerdeo is a leading figure in forensic toxicology, specializing in the development of rapid, automated analytical methods for detecting drugs and alcohol in biological specimens. His major contributions lie in advancing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) and robotic sample preparation techniques to enhance the speed, sensitivity, and reliability of forensic testing. Notably, his 2010 work on a fast method for screening and quantifying tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and its metabolites in urine using automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled with LC/MS/MS has garnered 20 citations, establishing a benchmark for high-throughput cannabinoid analysis. Additionally, his 2007 study on ethanol analysis from biological samples via a dual rail robotic autosampler, with 15 citations, showcases his innovative approach to automating alcohol testing, reducing manual error and turnaround time. Jagerdeo’s research directly impacts forensic laboratories, enabling more efficient processing of evidence in DUI and drug-related cases. His work is essential reading for students and researchers seeking to understand modern, automated workflows in forensic toxicology, blending analytical chemistry with practical, real-world application.
