IMMSA Workshop 2022
NIST Boulder, Boulder, Colorado
August 23, 2022 - August 25, 2022The 2022 IMMSA Workshop was a NIST-hosted event focused on standards for microbiome and multi'omics measurements. This workshop brought together researchers to discuss the need for standard reference materials conducive to multi'omic measurements, improved enumeration and viability assessment, and method validation.

Microbiome Research
ATCC's NGS standards for microbiome research are completely manufactured from high-quality, authenticated, fully sequenced ATCC cultures that are characterized by polyphasic testing. These standards support a broad array of applications ranging from method optimization to data interpretation, and they serve as superior controls for microbial community testing and assay development on any platform.
