Custom Fabrication

Imperial Scientific designs and produces custom components, devices, and integrated systems for laboratory and research applications not adequately served by standard commercial equipment.

Projects may involve fabricating a defined component, modifying existing equipment, reproducing a physical part, or developing an assembly around clearly established laboratory requirements.

CAPABILITIES

-Machined PTFE components, fittings, adapters, seals, and interfaces

-Custom 3D printed parts and functional prototypes

-Electrodes and electrode assemblies

-Electrochemical and photochemical reactors, cells, and supporting components

-Scientific glassware and integrated glass components

-Laboratory fixtures, holders, mounts, enclosures, and equipment adapters

-Electronic controls, instrument interfaces, and automated laboratory devices

-Device control, data collection, and graphical software interfaces

-3D scanning, component reproduction, and modification

-Small run production of specialized laboratory components and devices

CUSTOM COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS

A project may be as focused as a single fitting, adapter, holder, electrode, enclosure, or replacement component. It may also involve a complete experimental assembly combining glassware, PTFE components, electrodes, electronics, sensors, light sources, temperature control, automation, and software.

Imperial Scientific can coordinate specialized component production and manage the fitment, assembly, testing, and integration required to deliver a functional finished system.

SCIENTIFIC SOFTWARE AND AUTOMATION

Custom laboratory equipment may include software for instrument communication, device control, automated measurements, data collection, analysis, and result reporting.

Software developed by Imperial Scientific remains proprietary unless expressly released under an open-source license. The customer receives the rights necessary to operate the delivered equipment. Core instrument operation will not require a recurring subscription unless a subscription-based service is specifically requested and agreed upon.

PROJECT SCOPE

This service is intended to solve defined laboratory and research needs. It is not intended for open-ended commercial product invention, patent development, or projects where the client expects exclusive ownership of general laboratory configurations or solutions developed by Imperial Scientific.

Clients retain ownership of technical files and intellectual property they already possess and supply to Imperial Scientific. The client owns the physical product purchased. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Imperial Scientific retains its CAD files, manufacturing files, software, methods, and other production materials.

Custom fabrication is generally nonexclusive. Imperial Scientific may produce similar components, reuse established solutions, improve configurations, and apply the same methods to other projects.
