AddressAbout Us
Liquid Instruments was founded by a team of experimental physicists and engineers with expertise in precision measurement and gravitational wave detector instrumentation. We provide equipment that helps scientists, engineers, students and professionals seamlessly acquire data, run measurements, and control their experiments.
Our products pioneer a new approach to test and measurement. This approach combines advanced digital signal processing with reconfigurable FPGA hardware to replace many conventional pieces of equipment with a single device at a fraction of the cost. Our founders developed this technology over several decades working on the LIGO gravitational wave detector and on NASA’s GRACE Follow-on mission.
