NIST RM 8398: Standardizing Discoveries

NIST RM 8398: Standardizing Discoveries.

Steel, concrete, peanut butter, and genetic testing all have something in common: all have reference material established in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce (Pear, 2015). On May 21, 2015, NIST announced that they made ‘‘the world’s first reference material to help ensure laboratories accurately ‘map’ DNA for genetic tes...

Nist Reference Material (rm) 8240/8250 Project – Standard Bullets and Casings

Standard bullets and casings are currently under development to support the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network (NIBIN) in the U.S. Based on a numerically controlled diamond turning technique, 20 RM 8240 standard bullets were fabricated in 2002. Test results show high repeatability and reproducibility for the bullet signatures on these RM bullets. Prototype standard casings were ...

Glycan characterization of the NIST RM monoclonal antibody using a total analytical solution: From sample preparation to data analysis

Glycosylation is an important attribute of biopharmaceutical products to monitor from development through production. However, glycosylation analysis has traditionally been a time-consuming process with long sample preparation protocols and manual interpretation of the data. To address the challenges associated with glycan analysis, we developed a streamlined analytical solution that covers the...

Data on crystal organization in the structure of the Fab fragment from the NIST reference antibody, RM 8671

The reported data describe the crystallization, crystal packing, structure determination and twinning of the unliganded Fab (antigen-binding fragment) from the NISTmAb (standard reference material 8671). The raw atomic coordinates are available as Protein Data Bank structure 5K8A and biological aspects are described in the article, (Karageorgos et al., 2017) [1]. Crystal data show that the pack...
