Welcome to the Molecular Spectrometry and
Microfluidic Methods Group

The Molecular Spectrometry and Microfluidic Methods Group:

   conducts research on the metrology of molecular spectrometry and develops standards for the calibration, validation, and performance monitoring of instruments for measuring molecular spectra;

   conducts research on microfluidic devices, methods, and applications for chemical analysis including studies of materials and material properties affecting the flow of liquids in microchannels and the use of microchannel and other electrophoretic methods for forensic and toxicological applications and standards;

   has responsibility for the development and certification of optical transmittance and wavelength standards in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectral regions;

  works with users and manufacturers of analytical instruments to assess and measure the performance of analytical methods and to determine and address existing and future needs for analytical instrument standards ranging from device calibration and instrument performance through specifications for remote device control and data interchange.
