The C-CIT AG was founded in 2002 as a spin-off of the „CCS – Center for Chemical Sensor“ of the ETH Zürich and has many years of experience and in-depth expertise in the development and application of chemical- and bio sensors.
With our innovative and specific methods like CITSens Bio, CITSens Ion and CAPSens we offer possibilities to measure and monitoring analytically in Biotech, Med. Tech, Environment and Food Tech.
Several of our products are used by METAS (The national metrology institute) and federal laboratories as reference method and for monitoring.
Our goal for the future is to develop other user-friendly sensor information systems and to provide accurate measurement methods for research in Biotech-, Healthcare- and Environmental-Industries.
