Synthetic Fecal Metabolite Calibrant Solution (RGTM 10212)

Ongoing

Metabolomics is an exciting and dynamic field in life sciences that harnesses cutting-edge technologies to identify and characterize small molecules, or metabolites, within cells, tissues, or organisms, collectively known as the metabolome. The wealth of evidence in the literature underscores the

Measuring Antimicrobial Resistance

Ongoing

Antibiotic resistance has been identified in the Nation’s Action Plan to improve the health and wellbeing of the American people. NIST scientists are leveraging a wide range of measurement capabilities to study microbial community dynamics with regard to antimicrobial resistance. Using a range of

DNA Plasmid containing 13 PCR targets for water quality testing

Standards for Assessing the Safety of Recreational Waters from Fecal Contamination

Completed

Over 286 million Americans get their tap water from a community water system. To assure the water safety, bacterial testing must be performed regularly. Major sources of contaminants include human derived sources, such as sewage leaks or combined sewer overflows; and agricultural sources, such as

Figure contains text “Omics Data Quality” and human outline with arrows pointing from the human to the following specimen types: liver, serum, stool, plasma, urine. On either side of the human are analytical spectra and everything is surrounded by a decorative molecule structure circular border.

Development of NIST Reference Materials for Untargeted Metabolomics, Lipidomics and Proteomics

Ongoing

There is a significant need for tools to increase harmonization, comparability, and reproducibility between laboratories and/or studies, and to provide quality control of sample preparation and data analysis protocols utilized in untargeted omics analysis. Reference materials are being developed to
