Why Trouvera
Built to get you to the next milestone
Iterate in days
Fabrication, bonding, coating, and metrology all happen in one building. Nothing waits in a queue at an outside vendor.
Engineering and surface science
Both disciplines under one roof, so the device and the chemistry on it are solved together rather than handed between vendors.
Scale without re-tooling
The setup that prototypes your part runs the pilot and the production lot, so the design that gets validated is the design that ships.
Services
From idea to impact
Consumables, the surfaces on them, and the instruments that run them. Whether you need a quick-turn proof of concept or an end-to-end product, the work stays in one building.
Design & Prototyping
Fast, flexible fabrication to bring an idea into physical form.
- Laser and CNC machining
- PSA bonding and multilayer assembly
- Functional coatings and optical windows
- Chips, inserts, cartridges, test coupons
From sketch to physical device in days to weeks.
About PrototypingContract Development
Iterative design and system integration for real-world readiness.
- Design and rapid prototyping of consumables
- Surface chemistry integration
- Custom fixtures, jigs, and test setups
- Design for manufacturability and risk analysis
Build. Test. Learn. Improve. Repeat.
About DevelopmentHardware & Instrumentation
The instruments that run, test, and characterize your consumable.
- Custom fluidic instruments and test rigs
- Pump, valve, pressure, and flow control
- Sensor integration and data acquisition
- Instrument control software and interfaces
Built alongside the consumable, not bolted on afterwards.
About InstrumentationContract Manufacturing
Production you can put your name on.
- Cleanroom production
- Modular workflows for pilot and mid-volume runs
- Lot-level traceability and documentation
- Custom QC built around your assay
Entirely US-based, in San Diego.
