OptiEnz has revolutionized measurement capabilities for organic chemical concentration; now providing continuous, real-time, in-place sensor solutions.
Company Description

Through applied biotechnology innovation, OptiEnz is revolutionizing measurement and monitoring capabilities for small molecule organic chemicals; think fracking chemicals to degreasers, pesticides to herbicides, or lactose to ethanol. OptiEnz is delivering the ability to measure halogenated analytes, hydrocarbons and organophosphates continuously, in real-time, in-situ and at concentration; whether in the groundwater, on the food production line or at the biofuel plant.
In a hand-held size package with replaceable tips, the OptiEnz sensor solution utilizing bioengineered enzymes and fiber optic technologies delivers an entirely new range of real-time measurement profiles from individual ad-hoc sampling to continuous, real-time, in-place monitoring; in most cases at concentration accuracy equivalent to gas chromatography.
The sensor solution set consists of an optoelectronic base station that contains an LED light source and light detector with a USB connection for power and data acquisition, fiber optic cables for sampling at extended depths or distances, and replaceable bio-enzyme tips.
Application areas for organic chemical sensors:
- Food and Beverage:
- process control monitoring
- limit altering for flow control
- real-time food safety monitoring
- Environmental:
- gas well & fracking fluid sentry monitoring
- water quality monitoring in wells, rivers and lakes
- contaminated site characterization
- site remediation process tuning
- water treatment process control monitoring
- Homeland Security
- monitoring of water supply and storage systems
