Almost 40 years ago, Tony Macknight, Michael Macknight and Boris Schlensky founded ADInstruments. They were joined in the very early stages by Graham Milliken. As we prepared to celebrate this incredible milestone, we wanted to look back at those early years. How did the founders find each other? And did they know what they had started?

Founded by Michael and Tony Macknight on November 25, 1986, we’re excited to be heading toward our 40th birthday. Our countdown is live now, and we’ll be sharing celebration details as they’re revealed.

We make really amazing products that are helping to solve problems for people, in a really important market, which is both scientific research and scientific education.”
