# Zymosense ## Posts - [Nature's Chemist](https://www.zymosense.com/natures-chemist/): Enzymes are Nature’s chemists, making and breaking chemical bonds critical to all life. The incredible thing is that they can do these exquisite chemical steps at modest temperatures and ambient pressures. They are not made of rare earth materials but can be grown in bulk using simple living cell factories. For centuries we have harnessed the power of enzymes to make products we love including fermented beverages, foods, and cheeses. In our modern world we have prospected new, natural enzymes to make fuels, materials, and animal feed. With the advent of modern biotechnical techniques, we then began to adapt natural […] - [Introducing the Age of Enzymes: A New Era of Discovery](https://www.zymosense.com/portable-nanoassays-in-the-field/): Explore how mobile nanosensor kits are making enzyme analysis faster, easier, and more accessible — even outside the laboratory. ## Pages - [The Nanoassay™](https://www.zymosense.com/nanoassay/): The Nanoassay™ The Nanoassay™ by Zymosense is revolutionizing enzyme activity measurement with a fast, simple, and highly accurate solution built on the unique properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Traditional enzyme assays depend on dyes, multiple reagents, and complex workflows—making them slow, labor-intensive, and prone to variability. The Nanoassay™ employs a direct-to-substrate approach that streamlines protocols and boosts throughput without sacrificing precision. At the core of the Nanoassay™ are single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), which act as nanoscale scaffolds for catalytic reactions. Through non-covalent interactions, molecules of a target substrate are affixed to the nanotube surface, creating a functionalized biosensor that […] - [Contact Us](https://www.zymosense.com/contact-us/): Contact - [Blog](https://www.zymosense.com/blog/): Blog - [Privacy and Safety](https://www.zymosense.com/privacy-and-safety-policy/): Privacy and Safety Global Privacy Policy for Zymosense, Inc.
