The primary goal of the US Technical Advisory Group (US TAG) to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee (TC) 276 Biotechnology
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is responsible for providing an evaluated tandem mass spectral library for reliable compound identification
Membrane proteins constitute approximately 30% of all cellular proteins. Nevertheless, this group of proteins is traditionally understudied due to limitations
Our goal is to develop reliable tools and standards for measuring the properties of cells, biomaterials, scaffolds and tissue-engineered constructs. As
Cell viability is often measured as a quality metric of tissue engineered medical products. However, there are a number of inherent assumptions about cell
Standard Reference Materials® ( SRMs®) and commercially produced, NIST-traceable materials for UV/visible/NIR spectrophotometry are transfer standards that
A new collaboration between NIST's Human Genomics Team, Mass Spectrometry Data Center, and Information Technology Laboratory to use and develop artificial
Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents (GBCA) are intravenous drugs used in diagnostic imaging procedures to enhance the quality of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Much of our knowledge of protein folding comes from experiments on polypeptides in dilute solutions or from theoretical models of isolated proteins. However
Protein drugs are the fastest-growing class of drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. However, they can be plagued by long-term stability issues, including
We provide SI-traceable reference materials for use by calibrant and reagent manufacturers in production of their own calibrants and standards. Clinical
Working Group 1 will work on identification of currently used national and international standards, guidelines and other relevant documents, as well as terms
The ISO/TC 276/WG 2 will elaborate a package of International Standards in the Biobanks field including human, animal, plant and microorganism resources for
The ISO/TC 276/WG 3 Analytical methods aims to develop standards for accurate, reproducible and robust measurement and analysis in support of biotechnology. WG
Within bioprocessing, Working Group 4 has currently identified standardization needs in four major technology spaces: 1) component materials control; 2)
