Center Overview

The Center for Bioanalytic Metrology (CBM) advances U.S. competitiveness by working with industry to solve current, emerging, and industry-relevant challenges in measurement science and technology. The CBM  has two overarching objectives: to deliver best-in-class molecular measurement tools and expertise that enable the development of powerful new technologies and capabilities across the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, nutrition and agriculture, energy, and analytical instrumentation sectors; and to serve as a proving ground for applications of new instrumentation to cutting-edge chemical and biochemical problems.

Measurement science, and associated instrumentation, is a key contributor to the U.S. economy, enabling advances in everything from drug discovery to materials manufacturing. By bringing together companies in these high-technology sectors with major analytical instrument makers, CBM bridges the gap between the initial demonstration of new ideas — the traditional province of academia — and the delivery of practical technologies.
