Orthogonal Measurements

Ongoing
Definitions: Orthogonal measurements: Measurements that use different physical principles to measure the same property of the same sample with the goal of minimizing method-specific biases and interferences. Complementary measurements: Measurements that corroborate each other to support the same

Live Cell Imaging of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Populations

Ongoing
As part of our program in Cell Biology , our live cell image program supports the advancement of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology in three ways: 1) Identification of process control measurements: A critical component to the translation of iPSCs into therapeutic applications is to

Development of the NIST Prototype Advanced Biometrology Laboratory

Ongoing
Currently, NIST is investing in a new type of metrology laboratory that is focused on the unique reference material and high quality assay protocols that are needed in the regenerative medicine and biotechnology communities. The laboratory design is centered on automation that can set up 1000’s of
