John L. Molloy, Michael R. Winchester, Therese A. Butler, Olaf Rienitz, Volker Goerlitz, Anita Roethke, Volker Goerlitz, Rodrigo Caciano de Sena, Lu Yang, Kenny Nadeau, Patricia R. Arancibia, Wu Bing, Zhou Tao, James Snell, Jochen Vogl, Maren Koenig, R. K. Kotnala, S. Swarupa Tripathy, Christine Elishian, Rosi Ketrin, Toshihiro Suzuki, Tom Oduor Okumu, Yong-Hyeon Yim, Judith Velina Lara Manzano, Mirella Buzoianu, Alena Sobina, Veniamin Zyskin, Egor Sobina, Pavel Migal, Mare Linsky, Suleyman Z. 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.

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

October 28, 2020
Author(s)
Sergiy Tyukhtenko, Girija Rajarshi, Ioannis Karageorgos, Nikolai Zvonok, Kiran Vemuri, Jeffrey W. Hudgens, Xiaoyu Ma, Mahmoud L. Nasr, Alexandros Makriyannis, Kyle Anderson, Jason J. Guo, Gerhard Wagner
Inhibition of human Monoacylglycerol Lipase (hMGL) offers a novel approach for treating neurological diseases. The design of inhibitors, targeting active-inactive conformational transitions of the enzyme, can be aided by understanding the interplay between

Development of a pregnancy-specific reference material for thyroid biomarkers, vitamin D, and nutritional trace elements in serum

October 24, 2020
Author(s)
Ashley Russell, Lisa Kilpatrick, Carolyn Burdette, Denise S. Tevis, Zachary A. Fultz, Michael Nelson, Jeff M. Jarrett, Stephen A. Wise, Brittany Kassim, Stephen E. Long
Background Concentrations of critical metabolites, hormones, and nutritional elements change significantly throughout pregnancy. Therefore, increased matrix complexity is a challenge for the measurement of these biomarkers. To provide a quality assurance

Certification of Standard Reference Material(R) 955d, Toxic Elements and Metabolites in Frozen Human Blood

October 15, 2020
