Abneesh Srivastava, Stephen E. Long, James E. Norris, Colleen E. Bryan Sallee, Jennifer Carney, Joseph Hodges
We present a direct comparison between two independent methods for the measurement of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) mass concentration: isotope dilution cold-vapor inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ID-CV-ICP-MS) and laser absorption

Study of the Reactions of OH with HCl, HBr, and HI between 298 K and 460 K.

The reactions between OH radicals and hydrogen halides (HCl, HBr, HI) have been studied between 298 K to 460 K by using a discharge flow – electron paramagnetic resonance technique. The rate constants at room temperature were found to be kHCl(298 K) = (7.9

Lessons From the NIST Micronutrients Quality Assurance Program for Vitamin C, 1993 to 2015: Sample Stability, Assay Reproducibility, and Use of Controls to Improve Comparability

November 11, 2020

David L. Duewer, Jeanice M. Brown Thomas, Katherine E. Sharpless, S A. Margolis
Vitamin C is a necessary micronutrient that is involved in many biological processes. In preserved human plasma and serum, vitamin C is most meaningfully analyzed as total ascorbic acid (TAA). From 1993 through 2015, the National Institute of Standards and

Conformational gating, dynamics and allostery in human monoacylglycerol lipase
