Ongoing projects

 ○Developing new methods for accurate analyses
     Extraction, clean-up, and instrumental analysis etc.
 ○Developing certified reference materials (CRMs) according to demands
     Analyte (Property value): Pesticide residues, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides,
          perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs), resin additives, water
     Sample matrix: Food, sediment, dust, plastics resin, biofuel, high purity organic compound, standard solution, soil
 ○Providing proficiency tests for external quality assessment
     Pesticide residues in food (soybean, unpolished rice, unpolished wheat)
 ○Standardization activity concerning to Raman spectroscopy
     Partners: VAMAS TWA42 (http://www.vamas.org/twa42/index.html), other NMIs, JAIMA, NIMS, and Raman spectrometer manufactures
 ○Keeping international comparability of analytical capabilities and CRMs among other national metrology institutes
     Participated in the follow international comparisons
        CCQM-K146 (Trans-zearalenone in maize), CCQM-K146 (BaP in olive oil),
        CCQM-K131 (PAHs in acetonitrile), CCQM-P129 (ethanol/water in bioethanol fuel),
        CCQM-P91 (pesticides in apple juice), CCQM-K95 (Pesticides in tea leaves),
        CCQM-K50, P69 (PAHs in soil/dust), CCQM-P57, P67(PCBs in mussel tissue/extract), CCQM-K25 (PCBs in sediment),
        CCQM-K05, K21, P10, P21 (organochlorine pesticides in fish oil), CCQM-K55a-c, P20b-e (purity of organic compounds)
