Quantitative Analysis of Zirconium Alloys Using Borate Fusion and Wavelength Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

January 26, 2021
Author(s)
John R. Sieber, Anthony F. Marlow, Rick L. Paul, Charles A. Barber, Laura J. Wood, Lee L. Yu, Alaina Rieke, Amy Kutnerian, Jessica McCandless, Candace Wallace
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) uses borate fusion, wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometry and synthetic calibration standards for high performance, quantitative analyses of a wide range of materials

Entropic-based separation of diastereomers. Size-exclusion chromatography with on-line viscometry and refractometry detection for analysis of blends of mannose and galactose methyl-alpha-pyranosides at "ideal" size-exclusion conditions

January 11, 2021
Author(s)
Andre M. Striegel, Steven Trainoff
TThe separation of carbohydrate diastereomers by an ideal size-exclusion mechanism, i.e., in the absence of enthalpic contributions to the separation, can be considered one of the grand challenges in chromatography: Can a difference in the location of a

Biomonitoring of emerging DINCH metabolites in pregnant women in Charleston, SC: 2011-2014

Jacqueline T. Bangma, Lauren A. Eaves, Kirsi Oldenburg, Jessica L. Reiner, Tracy Manuck, Rebecca C. Fry
Prenatal exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a ubiquitous class of chemicals, is associated with adverse outcomes such as preeclampsia, low infant birth weight and later-life adiposity. The objectives of this study were to examine PFAS levels in

Relationship between the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and persistent organic pollutants in sympatric Alaskan seabird (Uria aalge and U. lomvia) eggs between 1999 and 2010

December 31, 2020

Can, Betul Ari, Heidi Goenaga Infante
CCQM-K143 is a key comparison that assesses participants' ability to prepare single element calibration solutions. Preparing calibration solutions properly is the cornerstone of establishing a traceability link to the International System of Units (SI)

Comparison of primary laser spectroscopy and mass spectrometry methods for measuring mass concentration of gaseous elemental mercury

December 10, 2020
Author(s)
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.

November 24, 2020

Vladimir L. Orkin, Victor Khamaganov, Igor Larin
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
Author(s)
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
