March 19, 2018
Author(s)
Erica L. Romsos, Margaret C. Kline, Natalia Farkas, David L. Duewer, Blaza Toman
Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2372a is intended for use in the value assignment of human genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) forensic quantitation materials. A unit of SRM 2372a consists of three well-characterized human genomic DNA materials

Certification of SRM 2493:Standard Reference Mortar for Rheological Measurements

October 4, 2017
Author(s)
Alex Olivas, Chiara C. Ferraris, Nicos Martys, Edward Garboczi, Blaza Toman, William L. George
Rheological measurements are often performed using a rotational rheometer. In this type of rheometer, the tested fluid is sheared between two surfaces, one of which acts as the rotating surface [1]. Usually, the rotational velocity is imposed and the

August 11, 2016
Author(s)
Amanda J. Moors, Rebecca S. Pugh, Jody R. Evans, Jennifer M. Ness, Debra L. Ellisor, Melannie J. Bachman
The NIST Reference Materials Production (RMP) Facility at the Hollings Marine Laboratory produces fresh, frozen powder materials which are used as Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) and Control Materials (CMs) from frozen biological, environmental

SRM 1967a: High-Purity Platinum Thermoelement

March 9, 2016
Author(s)
Karen M. Garrity, Weston L. Tew, Dean C. Ripple
Consisting of a 1 m long piece of 0.5 mm diameter platinum wire, SRM 1967a meets the requirements for a thermoelectric reference material for temperatures from 196 °C up to approximately 1700 °C. We have tested the thermoelectric emf of four SRM 1967a
