ECO Physics AG
ECO PHYSICS AG offers innovative analytical solutions for measurement tasks in the fields of environment, health and process control. With our interdisciplinary research and development team we are delivering customer oriented and tailor made products and services. ECO PHYSICS AG is proud to claim the world leadership in the fastest and most sensitive chemiluminescence analyzers and the broadest commercially available range. Unique in the analytical field is the dynamic range of sensitivities from 1% down to 1 ppt (part per trillion). Our marketing oriented core competence covers customer support, manufacturing and R&D. We are relying on the best suited partners, internally as well as externally by applying a process oriented management system. ECO PHYSICS was founded in 1990 through a management buy-out. It is today a growing independent Swiss shareholders company. The international activities have led to daughter companies and a worldwide network of representatives.

About us
Our mission is to contribute with our know-how and technology to environmental preservation, human health, and industrial innovation. Fulfilling social responsibility is hereby as equally important as economic achievements. We believe that customer satisfaction forms the basis for a long-term economic success. This goal can only be achieved with highly qualified, motivated, satisfied employees, that continuously perform at the highest level of customer support and innovation. They are quality-oriented, pursue a holistic approach to safety and are committed to protecting our environment. To be able to meet these long-term requirements, we are engaged in a continuous process of self-improvement. Therefore, we maintain a management system in accordance with the international standards ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 and adhere to the EKAS guidelines.
With our corporate policy, we set generic rules that forge the corporate culture to achieve our goals. It is obligatory for all employees and addresses our political stakeholders.
Our Committment
We are offering innovative analytical solutions for measurement tasks in the fields of environment, health and process control. With our interdisciplinary research and development team we are delivering customer oriented and tailor made products and services.
The keys to our success are our employees, who always have our customers in mind!
Our ECOlogical leadership is committed to sustain our environment in all of our business activities. Conserving energy and natural resources in accordance with Swiss and international laws and guidelines is the least goal.
The Eco Physics Story of Success
The cofounders and board members Dr. Matthias Kutter and Dr. Werner Moser are active partners. The initial know-how focus was centered on the principle of the chemiluminescence, thus developing and manufacturing analyzers for the ambient pollution and emissions. The company ECO PHYSICS has perfected this analytical technique in speed and sensitivity. Today we are proud to claim the world leadership in the fastest and most sensitive chemiluminescence analyzers and the broadest commercially available range. Unique in the analytical field is the dynamic range of sensitivities from 1% down to 1 ppt (part per trillion) – thus covering ten decades!
As depicted such sensitive instruments are required for the tropospheric and particularly the stratospheric research. But offering the broadest product range of CLD our analyzers are suited beyond ambient level monitoring for applications to measure hot and wet stack gases, automotive exhaust, and other emissions. The medical sector opens a new field as a diagnostic tool in health care. And the semiconductor industry is using the measurement principle in systems for detecting the end point of the polishing process of wafers.
Each of the five business units offer their customers a complete solution tailored to the need of the specific industry and field. In close cooperation with the end user we strive for the ultimate solution in performance and reliability. As an example the cooperation with a wafer manufacturer has led to inventions, which will lead us into the future. Due to our constant high investment into R&D we remain at the forefront of technology. If you want to be our next partner for a technology leap into the future, contact us.
Our Certificates
EN ISO 9001:2015 - Quality management
EN ISO 9001:2015 sets out the criteria for a quality management system. This standard is based on a number of quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement.
EN ISO 13485:2012 - Medical devices -- Quality management systems -- Requirements for regulatory purposes
EN ISO 13485:2012 specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer and applicable regulatory requirements. Such organizations can be involved in one or more stages of the life-cycle, including design and development, production, storage and distribution, installation, or servicing of a medical device and design and development or provision of associated activities (e.g. technical support).
ECO PHYSICS is continuously audited and fulfills all requirements of the EN ISO 9001:2015 and the EN ISO 13485:2012 standards.
Environmental, Ambient Air and Research
Focuses on low NOx and NOx-related concentrations up to 100 ppm where high resolution is required. Parameters included are NO, NO2, NOx and NOy. Target applications are ambient air monitoring, indoor measurement, clean room measurement and atmospheric research.
Industrial
Focuses on medium NOx, NOx-related and multigas-concentrations up to 5’000 ppm where flexibility is a central requirement. Parameters included are NO, NO2, NOx, NH3, NOx-amines, O2 and CO2. Typical supported applications are industrial emission monitoring and gas manufacturing control.
Automotive, Aviation, Marine and Combustive Engines
Focuses on high NOx, NOx-related and multigas-concentrations up to 10’000 ppm. Parameters included are NO, NO2, NOx, NH3, NOx-amines, O2 and CO2. The applications are characterized by demanding sample gas conditions, such as in automotive, aviation, naval, or combustive engine emissions, as well as in catalyst production.
Semiconductor
NOx detection is an innovative approach in CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) process control. CMP smoothens the wafer surface with a combined chemical and mechanical polishing procedure. During production, wafers are coated by a thin layer. To avoid damage to the wafer surface, for instance by stress cracks, the NOx emitted as soon as the wafer is plane and blank must be measured. Therefore, a high-resolution NOx-detector, capable of determining exactly when the polishing process must be stopped, is essential. This approach is used successfully in manufacturing and development lines worldwide, since 1996.
Medical
Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) measurements are easy to perform and may be used to monitor eosinophilic airway inflammation (Asthma). A range of computerized pulmonary diagnostic products ranging from neonatology to adult pulmonary function testing are manufactured by ECO PHYSICS AG. These products are marketed and distributed by the label ECO MEDICS.
