The field of cardio-oncology is a critical frontier in modern medicine. While advances in cancer treatments have saved countless lives, many of these therapies carry hidden risks for the heart.

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?

PV Loop research is still a developing field, and the more consistent the field is the better the research outcomes. A recent article, led by Dr Oliver Wearing and Dr Chris West, presents a set of recommendations to standardize PV research and reporting moving forward.

Long-term EEG recordings using Kaha Telemetry improve ethical epilepsy research practices by reducing the number of animals used. As Dr Ledri explains, "We can record from the same animal before and after treatment. That already cuts animal use in half."

Make the most of your ECG recording with our new ECG Analysis Guide! Learning how to reliably perform and analyze an ECG is a key physiological research skill, even if you don't use it all the time. As a non-invasive technique in human research, ECG makes a great addition to a wide range of research...

ADInstruments Europe and The Physiological Society have agreed a strategic partnership to deliver valuable resources, including equipment access and awards, to advance research and career development for TPS members and ADI customers. The partnership will bring exciting opportunities for physiology...

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.

Isolated tissue-organ research is designed to reduce unpredictability. Learn more about some of the systems available on the market, and what makes Radnoti such a good investment.

Meet Phil! Phil is the ADInstruments General Manager for Europe. “What I love about working at ADI is that the people, all over the world, are actually really similar. Wherever you seem to go in the world, you meet people who are quite similar in terms of their outlook on things and how they go about their work. 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.”

Blood flow measurements offer us a clear picture of cardiovascular health. The accuracy of those measurements can make or break an experiment or emerging treatment option. Transonic’s flowprobes and flowsystems are the gold standard of flow measurement, providing high-resolution ultrasonic transit-time technology for animals of all sizes.

Research is full of hard learned lessons, skills and fine-tuning that you'd never think to ask about until the problem is right in front of you. In these excerpts from a recent webinar, four flowprobe experts discuss some of the lessons they've learned along the way, and even share some tips with one another.

Two groundbreaking new articles have been published by the Phillips lab. Find out more about the underlying mechanisms of Autonomic Dysreflexia.

We’re excited to announce that Jeremy Cohen has won our 2025 PowerLab C competition! Jeremy is a PhD student at the University of Waterloo in Canada. His PhD focuses on venous blood flow regulation using high-frame-rate ultrasound to visualize vector blood flow, and ECG. A recent addition to Jeremy...
