SRM 1950 Metabolites in Frozen Human Plasma - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for validation of methods for determining metabolites such as fatty acids, electrolytes, vitamins, hormones, and amino acids in human plasma and similar materials. This SRM can also be used for comparison of measurement technologies used in metabolomic studies and for quality assurance when assigning values to in-house reference materials. This SRM is intended to represent "normal" human plasma. A unit of SRM 1950 consists of five vials, each containing approximately 1.0 mL of plasma. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

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.

Standard Reference Material (SRM) 968 and its reissues are human serum based materials used as validation standards by clinical, epidemiological, and nutrition laboratories. Historically, about 300 units of this SRM have been sold annually. Based on this annual sales projection, as of November 1, 2015 there were about 16 months of inventory of the current issue: SRM 968e Fat-Soluble Vitamins, Carotenoids, and Cholesterol in Human Serum. To avoid a gap in service to our customers, it is necessary to have the next issue of SRM 968 available for use in several NIST-organized interlaboratory comparison studies. Candidate SRM 968f Fat-Soluble Vitamins in Human Serum was prepared by the contractor as a two-component renewal. Approximately 3000 (± 10 %) vials of each of the two serum pools were delivered to NIST in March 2016. This material will be certified by NIST for retinol, alpha- and beta-/gamma-tocopherol. Other selected analytes measured by collaborating laboratories will be provided as reference or information values. Samples for these studies were shipped to participants in the NIST Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program for analysis beginning in early June 2016. NIST will evaluate this data for possible value assignment of the analytes of interest.

SRM 1958 Organic Contaminants in Fortified Human Serum (Freeze-Dried) - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use in evaluating analytical methods for the determination of selected polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, chlorinated pesticides, and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners in human serum and similar matrices. Reference values are provided for selected polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), non-ortho PCB congeners, perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), and serum lipid. Information values are provided for selected toxaphene congeners and hydroxylated compounds. A unit of SRM 1958 consists of five vials, each containing freeze-dried fortified human serum. Before use, the serum in each bottle must be reconstituted with 10.7 mL of distilled or HPLC-grade water. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

SRM 1957 Organic Contaminants in Non-Fortified Human Serum (Freeze-Dried) - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use in evaluating analytical methods for the determination of selected polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, chlorinated pesticides, and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners in human serum and similar matrices. Reference values are provided for selected polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), perflourinated compounds (PFCs), and serum lipid. Information values are provided for selected hydroxylated compounds. All of the constituents for which values are provided in SRM 1957 are naturally present in the freeze-dried human serum. A unit of SRM 1957 consists of five 30 mL vials each containing freeze-dried non-fortified human serum. Before use, the serum in each vial must be reconstituted with 10.7 mL of distilled or HPLC-grade water. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

Standard Reference Material SRM 915c Calcium Carbonate - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use as an analytical standard of known purity. It is intended primarily for use in the calibration and standardization of procedures for calcium (Ca) determinations employed in clinical analysis and for routine critical evaluation of the daily working standards used in these procedures. 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.

SRM 1849a Infant/Adult Nutritional Formula - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for validation of methods for determining proximates, fatty acids, cholesterol, vitamins, elements, amino acids, and nucleotides in infant and adult nutritional formulas and similar materials. This SRM can also be used for quality assurance when assigning values to in-house reference materials. The SRM is a milk-based, hybrid infant/adult nutritional powder prepared by a manufacturer of infant formula and adult nutritional products. A unit of SRM 1849a consists of 10 packets, each containing approximately 10 g of material. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

SRM 1546a Meat Homogenate - This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for validation of methods for determining fatty acids, cholesterol, proximates, calories, elements, vitamins, and amino acids in canned meat products and similar materials. This SRM can also be used for quality assurance when assigning values to in-house reference materials.
