Scientists from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) have implemented a novel pressure measurement method, quasi as a byproduct of the work on the "new" kelvin. In addition to being new, this procedure is a primary method, i.e. it only depends on natural constants. As an independ ... more
Dr. Christine Brauckmann
Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB)
Christine Brauckmann, born in 1985, studied chemistry at the Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster and received her diploma degree there. In 2012, she completed her PhD in analytical chemistry with its focus on speciation analysis and started working at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in the same year. Since 2018, she has been responsible for the measurement and organization of one of the first CCQM intercomparison of a metalloprotein in clinical matrix.
Leitmotif
„Thinking Without a Banister“ (Hannah Arendt)
Activities
Christine Brauckmann organizes and performs the measurements in comparisons of the Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance – Metrology in Chemistry and Biology (CCQM) for proteins. These CCQM comparisons assure the traceability of peptide and protein reference materials and measurement procedures at the highest international level of metrology. With such interlaboratory comparisons the international metrology institutes (NMIs) can prove their measurement capabilities. Additionally, she is a member of the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh).
Awards
Poster award at the Metallomics 2009 in Cincinnati, as well as poster award at the Protein and Peptide Therapeutics and Diagnostics: Research and Quality Assurance International Workshop 2016 in Chengdu, China.
Focus
The focus of Christine Brauckmann is the development and validation of SI traceable methods for clinical biomarkers as well as the characterization of reference material for SI traceable methods.
Methods
- Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in combination with chromatographic separation methods
- Isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS)
