The mass measurement of solid density standards using weight exchanger is described. KRISS(Korea Research Institute od Standards and Science) has several solid density standards. Their mass have been measured manually only using a mass comparator(Mettler, 1kg - 0.01mg). However, the uncertaity of the manual mass measurement is up to 300 microgarm much more than 32 microgram of advanced NMIS(National Metrology Institutes) for 1 kg silicon sphere which is primary density standards due to an eccentric error and buoyancy correction error. The new system with a weight exchanger is designed and built to improve the measurement accuracy. It comprises a weight exchager, a mass comparator, air density instruments, and application program for automatic measurement. It is evaluated by measuring several elements in an air tight chamber to verify the performance of it.

A certified reference material (CRM) for the analysis of inorganic nutrients in nutritional supplements has been developed. Accurate mass fractions of chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) were determined by isotope dilution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ID ICP/MS). The measurement results were used to assign certified values for the CRM, which were metrologically traceable to the definitions of the measurement units in the International System of Units (SI). Production of a candidate reference material (RM) and the certification processes are summarized. Each nutrient in the CRM showed good homogeneity, which was estimated using relative standard deviations of the measurement results of twelve bottles in a batch. This CRM is expected to be an important reference to improve reliability and comparability of nutrient analyses in nutritional supplements and related samples in analytical laboratories.

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has developed a residual gas analyzer (RGA) calibration system and measured gas sensitivities for two different types QMSs using nitrogen, argon, and helium. Different gas sensitivities were identified according to mass and pressure, so it was revealed that the gas sensitivity correction is necessary for proper use of mass spectrometers.

A glow discharge mass spectrometric(GDMS) analytical method was developed for direct analysis of impurities in solids. Ions extracted from a glow discharge ion source with a sample as a cathode were analyzed by a quadrupole mass filter. Ion extractions were carried out through differentially-pumped orifices biased to positive and negative potentials. Operating parameters of the glow discharge source such as discharge current, orifice-to-cathode distance, energy analyzer setting and bias voltages have been optimized. The developed GDMS was applied to the analysis of KSS copper-base alloy standards certified by Korea Standards Research Institute(KSRI). In the analysis, the reproducibility and the detection limits were estimated to be about 2.5% RSD, and in the low ppm range, respectively.

A certified reference material (CRM) for the analysis of nutrient elements in an edible mushroom (Ganoderma lyceum) powder has been developed (KRISS CRM 108-10-011). The mass fractions of calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), and zinc (Zn) were measured by isotope dilution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ID ICP/MS). To dissolve the fungi cell wall of mushroom consisted of chitin fibers, sample preparation method by single reaction chamber type microwave-assisted acid digestion with acid mixtures was optimized. The mean measurement results obtained from 12 sample bottles were used to assign as the certified values for the CRM and the between-bottle homogeneities were evaluated from the relative standard deviations. The certified values were metrologically traceable to the definition of the kilogram in the International System of Units (SI). This CRM is expected to be used for validation of analytical methods or quality control of measurement results in analytical laboratories when they determine the mass fractions of elements in mushroom or other similar samples.

We report observation of laser desorption/ionization (LDI) of peptides from flat surfaces of tungsten silicide ($WSi_2$). In contrast to MALDI (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization) and SALDI (surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization) mass spectrometry, this study did not utilize any matrices and surface nanostructures. In this work, LDI on $WSi_2$ surfaces is demonstrated to cover a mass range up to 1,600 Da (somatostatin; monoisotopic mass = 1637.9 Da). In addition, it exhibited a high sensitivity, which could detect peptides, which could detect peptides of low femtomole levels (20 fmol for angiotensin II). The observed LDI process was discussed to be largely thermal, more specifically, due to laser-induced surface heating that is most likely promoted by the low thermal diffusivity (${\kappa}$) of $WSi_2$ substrate.

Many kinds of mass spectrometer type leak detectors have been widely used for detecting leak of vacuum processes in semiconductor and display industries etc. The leak detectors should be often calibrated by the permeation type standard leak in order to ensure accurate and reproducible leak measurement. We have developed a comparative calibration system for permeation type standard leak by using mass spectrometer type leak detector and specification of the calibration method. Following this technique the reliable calibration for leak standard ran be performed even in fields.

A gas chromatography/mass spectrometric (GC/MS) method was developed as a candidate reference method for the accurate determination of essential fatty acids (linoleic acid, ${\alpha}$- and ${\gamma}$-linolenic acids) in food supplemental oil products. Samples were spiked with three internal standards (stearic acid-$d_{35}$, $^{13}C_{18}$-linoleic acid, and $^{13}C_{18}$-${\alpha}$-linolenic acid). Samples were then subject to saponification, derivatization for methylation, and extraction by organic solvent. For GC/MS measurement, an Agilent HP-88 column, designed for the separation of fatty acid methyl esters, was selected after comparing with other columns as it provided better separation for target analytes. Target analytes and internal standards were detected by selected ion monitoring of molecular ions of their methyl ester forms. The GC/MS method was applied for the measurement of three botanical oils in NIST SRM 3274 (borage oil, evening primrose oil, and flax oil), and measurement results agreed with the certified values. Measurement results for target analytes which have corresponding isotope-labeled analogues as internal standard were calculated based on isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) approach, and compared with results calculated by using the other two internal standards. Results from the IDMS approach and the typical internal standard approach were in good agreement within their measurement uncertainties. It proves that the developed GC/MS method can provide similar metrological quality with IDMS methods for the measurement of fatty acids in natural oil samples if a proper fatty acid is used as an internal standard.
