Since the formation in 1990, ZIROX has been involved in the development and production of gas sensors based on solid electrolytes (zirconia). Together with scientists of Greifswald University, sensor systems with till then unrivaled parameters have been developed. For many problems (e.g. ceramic firing, surface treatment, float glass production) new methods could be established.

The records of ZIROX have been awarded:

• Initiative Price of the Industry Research Foundation (1992)
• Innovation Price of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (1996)
• Export Price of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (2005)

Already 1958 the

world basic patent for the potentiometric gas analysis by solid electrolyte cells
(Möbius and Peters, DD 21 673) has been taken out.

Since the beginnings of the sixties a group of scientists under the leadership of Prof. Möbius has researched in the area of gas analytic. The group concerned itself with fundamental
research but also with the transfer of the scientific results into practically applicable measuring systems.
