Analyte Data Sheets and Performance Examples
OptiEnz has two related sensor platforms that allow measurement of a wide range of chemicals (analytes). In both cases, enzymes on the sensor tip catalyze a reaction of the chemical to be measured. Broadly speaking, the chemicals that can be measured with the pH-based sensors include halogenated hydrocarbons, organophosphates, and amines, while the oxygen-based biosensors [...]
Biosensors
You can use these biosensors wherever the water is – in a groundwater well, in a lake, or in a wastewater treatment plant pipe. You analyze the water where it is, rather than putting it into bottles for analysis in a remote laboratory. At OptiEnz Sensors, we have recognized that a significant need exists for [...]

Investor Relations
Prior to OptiEnz’s technological breakthrough in bio-engineering, there has never before been a way to measure real-time, in-place organic chemicals in water; whether for oil in the ocean, solvents in the groundwater or pesticides in the stream. Come join in deploying this ground-breaking technology to mankind.

Colorado State University Startup OptiEnz Names President, Unveils Prototype
FORT COLLINS – Chris Thompson, a former director of Enterprise Systems at Advanced Energy Industries and Colorado State University alumnus, has been named president of OptiEnz Sensors LLC, a university startup that is developing biosensors for detecting food and water contaminants.
“Chris is a great addition to our team – his expertise will be valuable with getting this technology out of the laboratory and into commercial production,” said Ken Reardon, a Colorado State professor of chemical and biological engineering who co-founded OptiEnz.
CSU Incubates Future Corporations, Breakthroughs
Nelson Garcia (nelson NULL.garcia null@null 9news NULL.com), 9NEWS.com, May 7, 2010. KUSA-TV © 2010 Multimedia Holdings Corporation. For years, Dr. Ken Reardon had an idea. The chemical engineer invented a new way to detect contaminants in groundwater. Now, that idea is being developed into a real commercial enterprise. “You can start out with a great [...]
CSU technology tests water contamination on-scene
Bobby Magill (BobbyMagill null@null coloradoan NULL.com). Fort Collins Coloradoan, May 11, 2010. OptiEnz would allow first responders to test contaminants on-scene If those first on the scene at last summer’s two Poudre River asphalt tanker spills could have immediately tested contamination in the water to find out how badly the river was polluted, Fort Collins [...]
