Poster Information
Abstract: NECi Superior Enzymes develops wet chemistry methods that replace metals and other chemicals with recombinant protein reagents. These protein reagents are produced in tightly controlled protein expression systems for lot-to-lot consistency and therefore can be regarded as any other reagent-grade chemical. NECi’s nitrate reductase enzyme reagents for nitrate quantification have been on the commercial market for over ten years[3]. Method validations for the nitrate reductase method include USGS, ASTM, and pending validations for the U.S. EPA Clean Water Act*, Safe Drinking Water Act* and Standard Methods*. NECi Superior Enzymes has since developed enzyme-based test methodologies for quantification of phosphate[2], and the research and development team is currently developing methods for the quantification of ethanol, glycerol, and galactose. The idea for this project was prompted by the lack of economical photometers compatible with standard 1ml cuvettes to provide quantitative data from the methods described above. *Pending MethodsSummary: Portable Dual Wavelength Photometers that Interface with Android Mobile Devices to Make Analytical Chemistry More Accessible to a Wide Range of UsersReferences: 1.
