NIST Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program Winter and Summer 2017 Comparability Studies

The Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program (MMQAP) was coordinated by the Chemical Sciences Division and supported measurement technology for selected fat- and water-soluble vitamins and carotenoids in human serum. This program was initiated in 1984 by the National Cancer Institute Division of Cancer Prevention and Control to ensure the long-term reliability of the measurements made while studying the possible cancer chemoprevention roles of these compounds. This program provided participants with measurement comparability assessment through use of interlaboratory comparison studies, Standard Reference Materials and control materials, and methods development and validation. The MMQAP concluded in 2017, and parts of the MMQAP community will now be served through the NIST Health Assessment Measurements Quality Assurance Program (HAMQAP).
