The Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program (MMQAP) was coordinated by the Chemical Sciences Division and supported measurement technology for selected fat- and water-soluble vitamins and carotenoids in human serum. This program was initiated in 1984 by the National Cancer Institute Division of Cancer Prevention and Control to ensure the long-term reliability of the measurements made while studying the possible cancer chemoprevention roles of these compounds.

Donor serum for SRM 2378 was collected from three groups of individuals: (level 1) three healthy donors who took 1000 mg/day of fish oil supplements for a minimum of one month prior to collection; (level 2) three healthy donors who took 1000 mg/day of flaxseed oil supplements for a minimum of one month prior to collection; and (level 3) three healthy donors who did not take either fish or flaxseed oil supplements for one month prior to collection.

SRM 972a Vitamin D Metabolites in Frozen Human Serum - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use as an accuracy control in the critical evaluation of methods for determining the amount-of-substance concentration of vitamin D metabolites in human serum. This SRM can also be used as a quality assurance tool for assigning values to in-house control materials for these constituents. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

SRM 2973 Vitamin D Metabolites in Frozen Human Serum (High Level) - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use as an accuracy control in the critical evaluation of methods for determining the amount-of-substance concentration of vitamin D metabolites in human serum. This SRM can also be used as a quality assurance tool for assigning values to in-house control materials for these constituents. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use as a primary calibration standard for the quantitative determination of tellurium. A unit of SRM 3156 consists of five 10 mL sealed borosilicate glass ampoules of an acidified aqueous solution prepared gravimetrically to contain a known mass fraction of tellurium. The solution contains hydrochloric acid at a volume fraction of approximately 10 %, which is equivalent to an amount of substance concentration (molarity) of approximately 1.2 mol/L. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use as a primary calibration standard for the quantitative determination of tungsten. A unit of SRM 3163 consists of 50 mL of an acidified aqueous solution prepared gravimetrically to contain a known mass fraction of tungsten in a high-density polyethylene bottle sealed in an aluminized bag.

The NIST Computational Chemistry Comparison and Benchmark Database is a collection of experimental and ab initio thermochemical properties for a selected set of gas-phase molecules. The goals are to provide a benchmark set of experimental data for the evaluation of ab initio computational methods and allow the comparison between different ab initio computational methods for the prediction of gas-phase thermochemical properties. The data files linked to this record are a subset of the experimental data present in the CCCBDB.

SRM 2193a Calcium Carbonate pH Standard [used as saturated Ca(OH)2 solution] - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use in preparing solutions for calibrating electrodes for pH measuring systems at pH values above 11.0. This lot of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was selected for its low level of alkali metal impurities. However, this SRM is certified ONLY as a pH standard, NOT as a pure substance. A unit of SRM 2193a consists of 30 g of CaCO3. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use as a primary calibration standard for the quantitative determination of barium. A unit of SRM 3104a consists of five 10 mL sealed borosilicate glass ampoules of an acidified aqueous solution prepared gravimetrically to contain a known mass fraction of barium. The solution contains nitric acid at a volume fraction of approximately 1 %, which is equivalent to a concentration (molarity) of approximately 0.16 mol/L. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use as a primary calibration standard for the quantitative determination of cerium. A unit of SRM 3110 consists of five 10 mL sealed borosilicate glass ampoules of an acidified aqueous solution prepared gravimetrically to contain a known mass fraction of cerium. The solution contains nitric acid at a mass fraction of approximately 16 %. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.
