The institute aims to ensure the reliability of all measurements conducted in Turkey, to make provisions for the integration of these measurements into the international system and to develop existing and new measurement technologies, thereby establishing the national measurement system required for ensuring the accuracy of measurements used in commercial and industrial settings and which contributes to equity in national and international trade, increases in the quality of Turkish industrial products and Turkey’s scientific and technological development.

The main purpose of TUBITAK UME Bioanalysis Laboratory is to provide SI traceability in the field of biometrology, in other words, in the measurements of large biological molecules (DNA, RNA, peptide and protein) and cells, thus increasing the quality of the measurements in this field.

For this purpose, new methods are developed as required by newly developed technology and required standards, the developed methods are validated, and the necessary reference materials, needed in our country, are prepared and presented to the use of the stakeholders.
