Components for your device.
Instrument bodies, fluidic manifolds, carriage plates, tray hardware, and the fixtures your line runs on — machined domestically, documented by default, and priced against an envelope we publish.
Components for your device, not finished devices — until ISO 13485, and we'll say so plainly.

What device work lands where.
Read the rule at the left of each row. A solid object line means the part prices instantly. A dash-dot phantom line means it is inside the envelope but pauses for an engineer, inside four business hours. A dashed hidden line means it is real work on the Sourcing lane — human-quoted inside two business days, with a date we commit to. A break line means the drawing stops there: we do not take that work in either lane, and the reason is in the section below.
- Instrument handles, bodies, and prismatic housingsCatalog3-axis, two setups, 303 or 17-4PH straight off the library
- Fluidic manifold blocks — drilled, tapped, cross-portedCatalogCross-drilling inside 8:1 depth-to-diameter; taps from the standard library
- Carriage and stage plates for lab automationCatalogPlate work at Precision class, ±0.002″
- Enclosure, gland, and sub-panel plates for capital equipmentCatalogInside 12″ × 8″ × 4″, anodized or bead blasted. A full instrument enclosure panel usually is not
- Assembly fixtures, jigs, and gauge plates for your own lineCatalogIt is not part of your device, so it does not carry your device's registration requirements — the fastest place to start

The line, stated plainly.
Components for your device, not finished devices — until ISO 13485, and we'll say so plainly.
A component that goes into your device
Yes. Made to your print, with material certs and a dimensional report. Catalog lane if it is inside the envelope, Sourcing lane if it is not. Either way, Praetore is the single accountable manufacturer of record — not a broker standing between you and a shop.
A part that is the finished device
No. If the part ships sterile, carries your device labeling, or is itself the regulated end product, it needs a quality system registered to ISO 13485 and an FDA-registered establishment behind it. We hold neither today, and we will not imply otherwise to win the order. A complete sterilization container is the clarifying case: it is a device in its own right, so we machine the inserts, brackets, and caddy hardware that go into one and stop at the container.
Your line's fixtures, jigs, gauges, and equipment hardware
Yes, and this is the honest place to start. None of it is a regulated device. A gauge or fixture used in an acceptance activity is still inspection equipment under your quality system, so every one ships with material certs and a dimensional report against the packet's inspection plan — the record your auditor asks for. Most of it is prismatic, and it is exactly the work the Catalog lane was built for. It is also how you find out whether our dates hold before anything on your device depends on them.
When the line moves
ISO 13485 is a deliberate certification decision with a cost and a calendar attached. Unlike the rest of the envelope, it does not move because demand evidence piles up — regulated finished goods sit behind a certification gate, not a verification gate. When it happens, this page changes and the date is on it.
What we hold, and what we don't.
Quality-system claims are the easiest thing on a manufacturing website to imply and the hardest to unsay. Here is the whole inventory.
- A documented central quality system. Praetore is the manufacturer of record; shops execute inspection under our system, not beside it.
- Three inspection layers per job, with the coverage rule enforced: every guarantee-critical dimension is verified by at least one of them.
- First article on the first run of every packet revision at every shop. AS9102 format on request.
- Full traceability, per part, from packet revision to ship date.
- Central disposition authority on every nonconformance, inside four business hours.
- An ISO 13485 registration.
- An FDA establishment registration.
- An ISO 9001 certificate. Certifying Praetore central is the next formalization step, and it is sequenced ahead of anything in this column.
- A cleanroom, sterile packaging, or any validated sterilization process.
- Any of the above listed as “in progress” on a logo strip. Until each one is real, it does not appear on this site.
Certification status is the one thing on this site that must never be aspirational. If a registrar has not issued it, it is in the right column.
A Tight callout is a routing decision, not a checkbox.
Tight class — ±0.0005″ to ±0.001″ linear, holes to ±0.0005″, flatness called per feature — routes only to shops that hold a CMM on site and have produced gauge R&R evidence. That is a qualification tier in the network, earned at onboarding and audited afterward.
It is also why a Tight callout pauses for engineer disposition instead of pricing itself in four seconds. The pause is the feature.
Instruments referenced by any inspection plan carry current calibration, verified at onboarding and attested annually. Master gauges circulate through the network quarterly for correlation checks — cheap insurance against one shop's drifting micrometer moving everyone's numbers.
- 01
In-machine probing, during the cut
Work-coordinate verification, in-process gates, and final critical dimensions run from probe routines that ship inside the packet. Out of tolerance halts the job to a first-piece hold automatically — it is a gate, not a suggestion.
- 02
Shop inspection, post-op
Instruments, features, and sample plan per the packet's inspection plan — 100% or AQL by class — reported on a template pre-filled with your nominals and tolerances. The shop attests; disposition on any nonconformance is ours.
- 03
Central verification
First article on the first run of every packet revision at every shop, all Tight-class work, skip-lot audits, and source inspection where you require it. Central QC holds final disposition authority.
Run a shop with a CMM on site and gauge R&R evidence to show?
Apply as a ShopThe paperwork is not an add-on.
Device work is documentation work. Every order in both lanes ships with material certs and a dimensional report written against the packet's inspection plan — not because you asked, but because the packet cannot be released without an inspection plan in the first place.
First article in AS9102 format is available on request at the listed price. Where your incoming-inspection procedure needs source inspection, it is a central-verification layer, not a favor.
The traceability chain, per part

- 08Ship date
One query answers “what else could be affected.” That is the entire containment system, plus the discipline to keep the chain unbroken on every job.
Tell us what you wish were instant.
Every Sourcing job is logged with the feature class that put it there — turning, oversize, an alloy we don't stock, a finish off the menu. That log is the envelope-expansion roadmap and the only thing that moves it.
A feature class graduates into the Catalog when it exceeds five percent of inbound demand for two consecutive quarters and verification tooling for it exists. Both, not either. So the honest way to widen the envelope is to send us the part you assume we'll decline.
