History
Zurich Instruments was founded in April 2008 as a spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich).[1] The company commercialized its first HF2 platform in May 2009 after having developed first prototypes for academic research projects. The first derived product was the HF2LI Lock-in Amplifier, which is an instrument suited for physics research facilities. In 2010 the HF2PLL Phase-locked Loop (PLL) followed targeting surface analysis like SPM, STM and AFM. The world-wide adoption of the HF2LI lead to development of the UHFLI Lock-in Amplifier, to date the worlds fastest commercial lock-in amplifier both in terms of frequency range and demodulation bandwidth. In addition, for the first time in commercial products, a lock-in amplifier was capable to support boxcar averaging (option introduced in 2013) and signal digitizing (option launched in 2014 [2]).
Zurich Instruments has actively fostered international cooperation in the scope of EU funded research projects,[3][4] world-wide sales network [5] and development partners. For instance, in May 2011, Zurich Instruments and Nanosurf have announced the start of a strategic technology partnership that offers the HF2PLL Phase-locked Loop as upgrade path for the easyPLL platform for SPM applications.[6] In a more recent collaboration, the electrical impedance spectroscopy platform (EISP) was launched together with French Fluigent and Dutch Micronit for the commercialization of ready-to-use electrical impedance analysis system.[7]
