Qualitative properties, such as biological species, nucleic acid sequences, and protein identification defy simple numerical quantification, relying instead on nominal or ordinal scales of identity and order. Recognizing this critical shift, NIST and other National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) are steadily expanding their portfolios of qualitative Reference Materials (RMs). This expansion has driven a parallel evolution in both measurement methodologies and robust uncertainty estimation.
This presentation showcases examples of the most recent NIST RM productions across genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, highlighting how modern metrology is adapting to the complexities of the molecular world.
