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
Despite the ubiquity of molecular alignment in natural and synthesized materials, accurate mapping of three-dimensional (3D) molecular orientations with sufficient spatial resolving power has remained challenging. Conventional analysis approaches of
Aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) is an effective and scalable liquid-phase processing method for purifying single species of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) from multiple species mixtures. Recent metrological developments have led to advances in

Firefighter turnout gear has been found to contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and is a potential source of PFAS exposure to firefighters. However, previous evaluations of firefighter exposure to PFAS through personal protective gear has
The temo library is a set of building blocks that facilitate the automation of fitting models to experimental data for thermodynamic properties. The library is written in Python to enable broad re‐use and is based upon the suite of thermodynamic equations

Protein function relies on sequence, folding and post-translational modification and molecular measurements are commonly used to reveal these structural features. Here, we report an alternative approach that represents these molecular features as readily
The primary goal for this project was to assess the value of an alternative headspace concentration method for the extraction of ignitable liquids (IL) related to fire debris. Headspace methods provide clean samples for analytical analysis, do not require

One way NIST ensures that measurements are accurate and compatible is by certifying and providing over 1 300 Standard Reference Materials® (SRM®) with well-characterized composition, properties, or both. Customers use these materials to calibrate
A method is described for determination of fluorine in reference materials by chopped beam cold neutron prompt gamma-ray activation analysis (CB-CNPGAA). The chopper cycle is set to 11 s on/off to match the t1/2 of 20F. To reduce systematic error, the F
