Standard Reference Material (SRM) 965c Glucose in Frozen Human Serum is intended for use in validating methods for the determination of glucose in human serum and plasma. A unit of SRM 965c consists of three ampoules each of four materials: Level 1, Level

Universality of extreme broadening mechanisms in some near-edge x-ray spectra

March 5, 2025
Author(s)
Terrence Jach, John Vinson, Michael Woodcox, Adrian Jonas, Katja Frenzel, Rainer Unterumsberger, Burkhard Beckhoff
Extreme broadening previously observed in certain N x-ray fluorescence lines excited near the N K-edge in nitrates has been observed in the S L x-ray fluorescence in sodium sulfate, Na2SO4. It is explained as a large imaginary self-energy corresponding to

Product ion distributions using H3O+ proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS): mechanisms, transmission effects, and instrument-to-instrument variability

Andrew Fenwick, Denis Bergeron, Brittany Broder, Emma Bendall, Jeffrey Cessna, Sean Collins, Leticia Pibida, Natasha Ramirez, Elisa Napoli
The National Physical Laboratory (United Kingdom) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (United States) each determined the massic activity and effective separation time of a common solution of 227Th. Measurements at both laboratories were

Compressed liquid density and speed of sound measurements and correlation of the binary mixture carbon dioxide (CO2) + 1,1-difluoroethene (R1132a)} at temperatures from 220 K to 350 K

January 22, 2025

Commutability is where the measurement response for a reference material (RM) is the same as for an individual patient sample with the same concentration of analyte measured using two or more measurement systems. Assessment of commutability is essential

Speciating volatile organic compounds in indoor air: using in-situ GC to interpret real-time PTR-MS signals

December 18, 2024
Author(s)
Jenna Ditto, Han Huynh, Jie Yu, Michael Link, Dustin Poppendieck, Megan Claflin, Marina Vance, Delphine Farmer, Arthur Chan, Jonathan Abbatt
Proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) is often employed to characterize gas-phase compounds in both indoor and outdoor environments. PTR-MS measurements are usually made without upstream chromatographic separation, so it can be challenging to

Recommendations for assessing commutability of a replacement batch of a secondary calibrator certified reference material
