NBS (National Bureau of Standards) and Industrial Biotechnology: Instrumentation and Associated Measurement Needs

摘要

This report describes some initial steps NBS could take to identify: industrial biotechnology's instrument needs and associated measurement-related problems, areas where there will likely be an industry underinvestment in resolving these needs/problems, and the appropriate research and service activities NBS could undertake in order to be responsive to some of this industry's infrastructure technology needs. The report accomplishes this by: (a) examining biotechnology instrumentation trends; (b) identifying specific instrumentation measurement-related R&D barriers and opportunities; and (c) providing examples of NBS scientific capabilities related to industrial biotechnology instrument needs and instrument development directions.
