A new multivitamin/multielement dietary supplement Standard Reference Material (SRM) has been issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with certified and reference concentration values for 13 vitamins, 24 elements, and two

Standard Reference Materials for Analysis of Dietary Supplements

June 1, 2010
Author(s)
Katherine E. Sharpless, David L. Duewer
NIST, in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements (NIH-ODS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is producing Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) for dietary supplements. This paper describes the how these

Strategies for Concordance Testing

May 1, 2010
Author(s)
Carolyn R. Steffen, David L. Duewer, Margaret C. Kline, John M. Butler
Concordance evaluations are important to conduct to determine if there are any allelic dropout or “null alleles” present in a data set. These studies are based on the fact that there are a variety of commercial short tandem repeat (STR) multiplex kits

CCQM–K62: Nutrients in Infant/Adult Formula – Vitamins

April 24, 2010
Author(s)
Katherine E. Sharpless, Catherine A. Rimmer, Karen W. Phinney, Bryant C. Nelson, David L. Duewer, Stephen A. Wise
Key Comparison CCQM-K62 was designed to enable demonstration of the equivalence in capabilities for measurement of vitamins in a food matrix. A milk-based fortified human infant/adult formula was selected as the matrix based upon material availability and

Demonstrating the Comparability of Certified Reference Materials

July 24, 2009
Author(s)
David L. Duewer, Katrice A. Lippa, Stephen E. Long, Karen E. Murphy, Katherine E. Sharpless, Lorna T. Sniegoski, Michael J. Welch
Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) enable the meaningful comparison of measurement results over time and place. When CRMs are used to calibrate or verify the performance of a measurement system, results produced by that system can be related through the

Visualization Technique for Uncertainty Budgets: Onion Charts

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Kenneth W. Pratt, David L. Duewer
A concise graphical depiction, the onion chart, is described for presenting uncertainty budgets for any measurand, y, having a set of component variances, ui2(y). The onion chart consists of a concentric series of rings. Each ring is constructed from the
