Over the past few decades, low-temperature plasma researches have gained momentum as they lie at the core of numerous applications in industry, environment and medicine. Recently, metrology community has also begun to take advantage of the unusual properties of plasma to develop new advanced measurement techniques and new measuring devices. In accordance with this purpose, in 2019, the Plasma Laboratory was installed in TÜBİTAK National Metrology Institute (UME) within the scope of infrastructure research and development program founded by Industry Ministry of Turkey for contributing to the ongoing worldwide research on plasma studies. In this work, the current advances in Plasma Laboratory of UME will be introduced. We present the installed experimental set-up for low-temperature and low-pressure gas discharge plasma. We present our preliminary measurement results in determining electron temperature by Langmuir probe and optical emission spectrometer.
