Groton was founded in 1984 in Waltham, Massachusetts to design and build optical instruments for the chemical analysis market. The first product was introduced in November of 1984 - a novel Michelson Sagnac interferometer optimized for HPLC detection. The PF1 High Performance Diode Array HPLC Detector was introduced subsequently in 1987. The company relocated to larger premises in Concord, Massachusetts in 1990 and acquired the fluorescence detector lines and other assets of SpectroVision, Inc. The SoloNet Photodiode Array Detector featuring full Windows compatibility was introduced in 1991 as the replacement for the PF1. The FD-500 Programmable Fluorescence Detector was brought to the market in 1995. The company relocated to larger quarters in Acton, Massachusetts in March of 1997. Groton NeoChem, a chemical software subsidiary, was formed in early 1997. The company's newest product, the 20/20 Photodiode Array Detector, is the replacement for the SoloNet and features superior noise characteristics while maintaining the spectral range and resolution which have been the hallmarks of Groton's photodiode array products.
