Enzymes for Education

Lessons on chemistry, enzymes, water quality and more in the classroom or in the environment

Our enzyme reagents and test kits are non-toxic and environmentally benign, meaning safe learning tools for your students, from elementary to graduate education. Our on-site nitrate test kits are especially great for beginners, as there is no necessary equipment required, and students can watch their samples turn pink from the nitrate. Our nitrate reductase activity kits are excellent for plant physiology classes.

using enzyme-based analytical chemistry for education

TEACH BIOCHEMISTRY

Students can learn about enzymes in action with our easy to use test kits. Biochemistry in a box!

TEACH ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING

Students can have hands-on experience learning about how to test water, soil, plant samples and more using enzymes and why it's an important scientific field in today's world.

TEACH ANALYTICAL SKILLS

Students can learn precision, accuracy, and consistency with our laboratory test kits. Our kits are a great way to introduce pipette handling and analytical chemistry research techniques.

TEACH PHOTOMETRY

We've scaled down spectrophotometric technology into a dual-wavelength handheld device that sends results to mobile devices. Coupled with our enzyme-based test kits, students can learn how photometers work and how to share and manipulate data for collaboration and further analysis.

NON-TOXIC

Our kits are safe for users and the environment. Educate your students about chemistry without having to worry about toxicity.

STABLE IN SOLUTION

Prepare the enzyme reaction mixture in the morning, and use it all day long for a day's worth of classes! Save the reconstituted working enzyme solution in a refrigerator for up to a week. As supplied, freeze-dried enzyme when kept frozen is guaranteed stable for up to 1 year.

MULTIPLE FORMATS

Our enzyme reagents are available in pre-calculated easy to use test kits for an introductory lesson about enzymes, water quality, and more. Students get to watch their nitrate containing samples turn pink! Or, opt for enzyme reagent packs for a lesson on assay and method development for more advanced students.

COST EFFECTIVE

We offer educational discounts to our already competitively priced enzyme-based chemistry tools. Contact us for more information!

INTRODUCING OUR HANDHELD PHOTOMETER

INCREASED ACCURACY

NECi's handheld photometer accepts flat-sided cuvettes that are used in laboratory spectrophotometer analysis. Competitors' colorimeters and photometers are usually only compatible with round vials that distort light and therefore compromise accuracy. When compared side-by-side to an analytical benchtop spectrophotometer, NECi's handheld photometer provides accurate and reliable results.

EASY TRACKING AND SHARING OF DATA

Our handheld photometer sends data to mobile Android devices via Bluetooth technology for convenient storage of data on your device. Easy one-step export of data as CSV file for convenient analysis and collaboration of data.

CONVENIENT GPS AND COLLECTION TIME TRACKING

Map out where and when samples were collected with GPS location and time stamping. Don't spend time writing down and manually transferring data, the mobile app tracks it for you!

"We were very interested and impressed with what you and your team have accomplished. You are doing very interesting and useful work in a very creative "can do" way."

DR. SHIYUE FANG

MTU Professor of Chemistry

"NECi test kits worked great for Michigan Tech's Summer Youth Programs for high school students. We studied methods to remove contaminants from water. The test kits allowed the students to learn about nitrate contamination, enzymatic reactions, and methods to remove nitrate. Thank you NECi for your donation and the creation of your easy to use kits!"
