Abstract
Development of commercial scientific instrumentation is very different from constructing a single device to be used in a researcher's laboratory. The history of the development of Princeton Applied Research Corporation's first electrochemistry instrument is used to illustrate the process and to review, by example, the pitfalls that may arise when scientists with little or no commercial or practical engineering experience undertake the development of a product destined for commercial manufacturing and distribution.
