David L. Duewer, Katrice Lippa, Brian Lang, Blaza Toman, Michael Nelson, Kenneth W. Pratt, Steven Westwood, Yoshitaka Yoshitaka Shimuzu, Takeshi Saito, Beatrice Lalerle, Xinhua Dai, Stephen Davies, Marina Ricci, Annarita Baldan, Stefan Sarge, Haifeng Wang, Ralf D. Josephs, Michal Mariassy, Dietmar Pfieffer, John Warren, Wolfram Bremser, Stephen L.R. Ellison, Ting Huang, Ales Fajgelj, Lindsey Mackay, Robert Wielgosz
Metrological traceability to the SI of the result of an analysis for an organic compound is achieved through a calibration hierarchy anchored in a primary calibrator of the compound, the mass fraction content of which is established in a manner traceable

Certification of Standard Reference Material(R) 3655 Glycans in Solution (Frozen)

April 12, 2022
Author(s)
Mark Lowenthal, Blaza Toman, Brian Lang, Karen W. Phinney
Standard Reference Material (SRM) 3655 is intended primarily for use as a calibration standard for the measurement of enzymatically released N-linked glycans. Applications of SRM 3655 include the benchmarking and comparability of analytical techniques, as

A new realization of SI for organic chemical measurement: NIST PS1 Primary Standard for quantitative NMR (Benzoic Acid)

July 30, 2018
Author(s)
Michael A. Nelson, Jason F. Waters, Blaza Toman, Brian E. Lang, Alexander R?ck, Kathrin Breitruck, Markus Obkircher, Anthony Windust, Katrice A. Lippa
Metrological traceability to common references supports the comparability of chemical measurement results produced by different analysts, at various times, and at separate places. Ideally, these references are realizations of base units of the
