technology made simple

montage of blacktrace products

At blacktrace, we have a straightforward philosophy – technology should be simple to use.  We add value by reducing complexity. The blacktrace team believe that form and function are not in opposition, and only by combining their synergies can elegance be created.

We are experts in taking science and fusing it with engineering to create market-leading products. From novel instruments for enhancing protein crystallisation, to control and logging of industrial greenhouses, we can bring our wealth of experience to provide a solution which is far more than just another grey box.

To demonstrate our own confidence in our capabilities, we don’t just design for others we create market-leading products of our own. As well as a wide range of pharmaceutical productivity tools, we have particular expertise in micro-engineering and microfluidic solutions which are brought to market through our Dolomite brand.

blacktrace can help at every step of the way

Let us help make technology work for you. From simply increasing your own productivity through better integrated hardware and software, to developing complete instrumentation solutions for your customers, there are many ways we assist our clients:

  • if you’re a scientist with a great new technique, but unsure of the best route to commercialisation, then we help you take your idea to a vision by bringing both financial and technical know-how to business planning and creation
  • if you’re in technology development, and already have a prototype system, then we can help you take it to the next stage by developing it into a commercially successful product
  • if you have a hard manufacturing problem, particularly one requiring precision assembly or production, then can also help through our dedicated clean room assembly services
  • if you need to develop a working prototype, or simply have a one-off need to enhance your productivity, then we can offer several ways to add automation in an intuitive and simple to use fashion
  • if you have your own great engineering team, but want to reduce you time to market, you can draw on our increasing portfolio of OEM components designed by us to provide the ideal backbone to many scientific instrumentation challenges

So contact us today to discuss how we can work together to meet your technology needs.

decrease risk, and time to market...

After more than a decade of product development, we have a core toolkit of mechanical, electrical and software components that we can apply to the challenges we’re set. And we don’t stand still, the list is growing fast.

We make some of these available to selected partners for inclusion in their own equipment, providing them with a reduced development overhead and the confidence of using products already proven in the marketplace.
