Microbial Pathogen DNA Standards for Detection and Identification

This reference material (RM) is intended for harmonizing measurements of abundance and identity using next-generation sequencing-based metagenomics.

A unit of RM 8376 consists of 20 tubes (components) containing either bacterial (19 tubes) or human (1 tube) genomic DNA in an aqueous buffer (1 × Tris-EDTA).

Each component contains approximately 100 µL of solution. The bacterial components are at a nominal concentration of 50 ng/µL, while the human DNA is nominally 100 ng/µL.
