In 1986, Rok was employed in Research and development at Lek Pharmaceuticals d.d., Slovenia. As a researcher, he started with GC, and after a few years, HPLC and MS became his main area of interest in connection with impurities in drugs.

Trace analysis of impurities (Genotoxic Impurities, Synthetic Tracers, Nitrosamines) with LC-MS and GC-MS is an important area of Rok’s research. For the past 25 years, Rok has been leading a group of researchers dealing mainly with impurity profiles, impurity isolation, identification, and trace analytics.
