Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biological reactions, lowering energy barriers to achieve reaction efficiency. For every chemical reaction that occurs in life, there's an enzyme that specializes in making that process quick and easy.
An enzyme "finds" its target in complex mixtures, using a highly specialized active site. We’ve simply harnessed the natural enzymatic mechanisms to be used for analytical chemistry.
Enzymes offer precision, specificity, sensitivity, reliability, safety, and ecological stewardship for analytical chemistry by replacing toxic chemicals and methods involving high heat or pressure.
NECi Superior Enzymes has been designing recombinant enzymes for analytical chemists since 1993. We develop robust assays for industrial quality assurance, agriculture, academia, environmental research, regulatory monitoring, citizen science, and more.
Cofounder of NECi Superior Enzymes, Bill Campbell, is a renowned biochemist and recombinant protein design expert.
Dr. Campbell’s research on nitrate reductase resulted in numerous peer-reviewed scientific journal publications along with various research grants and awards to continue develop enzyme based analytical assays and test kits.
We design recombinant proteins in order to develop robust assays that
deliver precise & accurate results without the use of toxic reagents
Why Enzymes? Why Us?
SPECIFIC PRECISE SENSITIVE RELIABLE NON-TOXIC
The enzymatic active site only binds nitrate - eliminating potential interferences, false positives and false negatives.
Enzymes only target their analyte, even in complex sample matrices, offering reproducible results.
Enzymes offer low detection limits with minimal interferences, finding even the smallest amount of the target analyte.
Enzymes only react with target analyte in a small reaction volume, ensuring data accuracy in these robust analytical methods.
Enzymes are biological proteins and react under gentle conditions for safe and clean analysis. Small aqueous reaction volume minimizes reagent waste.
