Title: NIST Leads Development of Biotechnology Standards
1. NIST administers the US Mirror Committee for ISO/TC 276, focusing on biotechnology standards. This includes cell counting standards and general principles for improving confidence in cell measurements.
2. NIST is developing recommendations for conducting nucleic acid measurements as part of this initiative.
3. The organization also supports the development of bioprocessing standards, covering raw materials, scalable cell manufacturing processes, equipment control, storage, and transportation.
4. These standards aim to improve consistency, reliability, and quality in biotechnology measurements and processes.
5. NIST’s leadership in these standards will help drive international harmonization and adoption of best practices in the biotechnology industry.
