About Admiral Instruments:

Admiral Instruments is on a mission to make the next generation of electrochemistry instruments truly accessible worldwide.

Why are we on this mission? Every day, all of us use portable electronics containing batteries, ride in cars or similar modes of transportation, eat packaged food, and drink clean water. At their core, these are all "electrochemical" systems comprised of chemical reactions between electricity and solid, liquid, or gaseous materials. Electrochemistry instruments are must-have tools used by millions of scientists, engineers, & technicians worldwide to study and manufacture the electrochemical technologies modern living relies on.

By carrying out our mission, we empower users to operate our instruments more efficiently than traditional options that have been in use for decades. By saving our customers’ money, time, and space without compromising measurement quality, we accelerate their own pace of innovation to create better performing batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, sensors, medical devices, protective coatings, and other advanced materials to benefit our global society.

Since our founding in February 2017, we have supplied thousands of electrochemistry instruments (and more every day!) to organizations in over 40 countries, including Fortune 50 companies, startups, universities, and government research labs. Our growth plans primarily focus on serving the rapidly-evolving hardware and software needs of the battery industry and fuel cell industry.
