The National Institute of Standards and Technology coordinated an interlaboratory study for laboratories that measure glycosylation in monoclonal antibodies. This report describes the design of and results for the NIST Interlaboratory Study on the
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has established a Vitamin D Metabolites Quality Assurance Program (VitDQAP) in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements. Participants in the twelfth

A new coincidence system has been set up at NIST. It is operated with a digital data finder supported by new software developed at NIST. The system is used to explore possible enhancements in instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and study
Wipe collected analytes were thermally desorbed using broad spectrum near infrared heating for mass spectrometric detection. Employing a twin tube filament-based infrared emitter, rapid and efficiently powered thermal desorption and detection of nanogram
Tandem mass spectral library searching is finding increased use as an effective means of determining chemical identity in mass spectrometry-based omics studies. We previously reported on constructing a tandem mass spectral library that includes spectra for

Abstract Rate constants for the reactions of hydroxyl radicals (OH) with methyl 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-1-trifluoromethyl ether (CH3-O-CH-(CF3)2 and 4-bromo-3-chloro-3,4,4-trifluoro-1-butene (CH2=CH-CFCl-CF2Br) have been measured over the temperature range
We determined the outgassing rate of vacuum chambers constructed from common 304 stainless steel vacuum components. The vacuum components were assembled into identical vacuum chambers and subjected to either a medium temperature vacuum bake or a medium
