Following significant discrepancies observed in rescaling collected 122Sb -peak count rates to a reference time by decay corrections, we looked at the literature supporting the presently recommended 2.7238(2) d 122Sb half-life value. The reading

Analytical techniques capable of determining the spatial distribution and quantity (mass and/or particle number) of engineered nanomaterials in organisms are essential for characterizing nano-bio interactions and for nanomaterial risk assessments. Here, we

The NIST tandem mass spectral library (2020 version) includes over 800 aromatic sulfonamides. In negative mode, upon collisional activation most benzenesulfonamides lose a neutral SO2 molecule leading to an anilide anion (C6H5NH-, m/z 92). However, for

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted a blind audit of EPA protocol calibration gas mixtures produced by specialty gas manufactures. The objective was to determine the amount-of-substance fraction (concentration) of the analytes in the

An intralaborabory comparison study to assess the performance of assays for the determination of serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] was conducted in 2017 as part of the Vitamin D Standardization Program (VDSP). The intralaboratory study consisted of
Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) can overcome the relatively low sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NM) spectroscopy by using a paramagnetic matrix to hyperpolarize a nuclear spin ensemble. Application of DNP-NMR results in sensitivity gains of

This contribution describes a Decision Tree intended to guide the selection of statistical models and data reduction procedures in key comparisons (KCs). The Decision Tree addresses a specific need of the Inorganic Analysis Working Group (IAWG) of the
Hamish Small, scientist extraordinaire, is best known as the inventor of both ion chromatography and hydrodynamic chromatography (HDC). The latter has experienced a renaissance during the last decade- plus, thanks principally to its coupling to a

Background: Use of Lipoprotein(a) levels for identification of individuals at high risk for cardiovascular disease is hampered by the high size polymorphism of apolipoprotein(a) which strongly impacts immunochemical methods resulting in discordant values
The utility of triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (QQQ-ICP-MS) was investigated for possible use in food authentication studies through the measurement of strontium and sulfur isotope ratios. Oxygen mass shift mode was applied
The success of non-targeted analysis often depends on libraries containing reference mass spectra of known chemical compounds; the mass spectra of unknown compounds are compared to these reference mass spectra, leading to a probable compound identity
