Development of International Key Comparisons in the Field of Chemico-Analytical Measurements

Abstract

The most challenging problems in the field of chemico- and bioanalytical measurements are described. These problems are being solved, in particular, by participating in new international comparisons organized by the Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance: Metrology in Chemistry and Biology of the International Committee of Weights and Measures (CCQM CIPM). Solutions of these challenging problems are presented. The objectives and tasks of developing key comparisons in the following areas are described: isotopic measurements; determination of the purity of substances; organic analysis; bioanalytical measurements; measurements of aerosol particle parameters; measurements in the field of gas analysis and electrochemistry. It is shown that participation in international key comparisons allows obtaining valid and reliable results of measurements of the composition and properties of gas and liquid media, as well as solid substances and materials.
