WELCOME TO Cospheric

"Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." Mohammad Ali

At Cospheric we are constantly pushing the limits of what is possible and offering cutting-edge micro and nanotechnology solutions to global scientific community. Our customers are the brightest researchers from all over the world, residing on all seven continents (yes, even Antarctica). They are relying on us to develop the smallest and most precise spherical particles to enable advances in their respective fields. Moreover, they want to have these particles in their labs as quickly as possible. Quality, speed, professionalism, expertise – this is the value Cospheric brings to each customer.

Founded in 2008 in beautiful santa Barbara, CA, Cospheric LLC has become an integral part of the global technical community. We are a dynamic company that has quickly gained the reputation for outstanding product quality and commitment to customer satisfaction. We specialize in manufacturing precision dust. Our product line consists of close to two thousand unique spherical microparticle and nanoparticle products, all of which have been developed based on customer demand. We work with each individual customer to find a creative solution for their unique needs.

Scientists and engineers worldwide rely on us as a proven source to fulfill their needs for precise nanospheres, microspheres, and macrospheres in tight particle size ranges, wide selection of colors, densities, properties and formulations. We utilize a variety of proprietary tools and techniques that are unique in the industry. We have the ability to make small custom runs of microspheres, prototype high-aspect ratio microstructures, and apply precision coatings on spherical particles. For the majority of our products we are the sole global supplier, without direct competitors. We developed a disruptive technology which is redefining the microsphere market and creating a new category of precision spherical particles. Our research department is always excited to tackle new challenging projects.

We offer the sophistication to deliver the advanced technologies customers need with small-company responsiveness to their technical and business needs.
