Evaluating Measurement Quality of Microfluidic Cell-based Assays

Microfluidic technologies show promise as miniaturized, portable platforms for cell assays, but must be tested to establish confidence of within-device

Evaluating the Quality of Cell Counting Methods: Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis

Cell counting is a fundamental measurement in biotechnology and is especially important for novel cell-based therapies, where cell count-based measurements are

Evaluation of Independent High-Precision Assay Procedures for a High-Purity Primary Standard Reagent

NIST assigns assay values for a suite of high-purity reagents using two techniques: coulometry and titrimetry. Coulometry is based on Faraday's Laws of

Evolution of Image Spatial Resolution

Measuring the through-plane water content in a hydrogen fuel cell is critical to understanding this complicated heat and mass transport environment, where the

Organic light emitting diode, light output is modulated through magnetic control of exciton states

Exciton and Charge Transport Dynamics in Organic Semiconductors

Emerging technology extends beyond electrical performance and seeks to take advantage of alternative energy and information carriers in materials, such as

Experimental Evaluation of Large-Scale Parallel Measurement Systems

Measurement systems such as those based on microarrays routinely produce thousands of parallel data sets. This project seeks to develop an approach to

Explosives Decomposition Chemistry

High-energy materials are commonly used as military explosives and as advanced propellants. The detailed chemical reactions responsible for detonation

Expression of Stable Isotopically Labeled Proteins for Use as Internal Standards for Mass Spectrometric Quantitation of Clinical Protein Biomarkers

Proteins are of significant interest as potential indicators (biomarkers) of health or disease. Clinical methods employed to measure these analytes are often
