Welcome

The Multiplexed Biomolecular Science Group conducts research in all aspects of measurement science, technology development, and standards for measurements where biological state is related to the contemporaneous levels of many biomolecules; establishes methods for asserting traceability, assessing measurement uncertainty, and validating measurements for multiplexed measurands; establishes approaches for measurement assurance of multiplexed and multivariate measurands, including standards and methods development; participates and leads relevant standards organizations and international bodies to develop and promulgate standards for and approaches to multiplexed and multivariate measurement assurance; develops multiplexed metrology for all facets of biochemical science, including clinical, pharmaceutical, biological and biomedical research, forensic, and homeland security applications.

Programs/Projects
Controlling Microfluidic Cell Culture Environments — NIST has taken advantage of recent technological advances to develop polymer microfluidic cell culture systems that provide a level of control over the cellular microenvironment unmatched in …
 
Development of Enhanced mRNA Amplification using Microfluidics — In conjunction with NCI/NIH, NIST is developing methods to improve mRNA amplification from small biological samples. Typical sample processing requires relatively high concentrations of nucleic …
 
Microfluidic Synthesis of Nanoparticles — Liposomes are nanometer-sized spherical vesicles made of phospholipids similar to those found in cell membranes of living organisms.  They have traditionally been formed using bulk methods …
 
Multiplexed “Detectorless” Electrophoresis — The ability to acquire large amounts of high quality data very rapidly is increasingly important for progress in the biological sciences. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has a number of advantages …
