  • New application note: Biogenic Crystal Structure determination with electron diffraction

    1 April 2024

    Download our latest application note about Biogenic crystals? Together with scientists from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Cardiff University Eldico achieved a significant breakthrough in the structural determination of biogenic crystals from 3D electron diffraction (3D ED) data measured with the ELDICO ED-1. We successfully determined the structure of individual crystals of biogenic guanine directly extracted from spider integument, scallop eyes and fish scales.

FROM OUR TRUSTED CLIENTS’ LIST

Key opinion leaders on electron diffraction

We are in constant dialogue with research and manufacturing industries in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical and advanced materials sector, as well as contract research organizations and academic research institutes. 

  • Professor Jeroen van Bokhoven

    Heterogeneous Catalysis in the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biology, ETH Switzerland & Head of Laboratory for Catalysis and Sustainable Chemistry (LSK) Paul Scherrer Institute

    ”The continued development and application of electron diffraction is particularly important because it enables structural analysis of individual crystals that are too small to be measured by X-ray diffraction.”

  • Dr. Mauro Gemmi

    Director at the Center for Nanotechnology Innovation@NEST of Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, PISA, Italy

    ”A dedicated device for electron diffraction would open up a lot of new possibilities. I see new possibilities in materials science, I see possibilities in pharmacology, in organic chemistry. I see incredible possibilities in the fields where what is critical is the size of the crystal.”

  • Professor Ute Kolb

    Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz Centre for High Resolution Electron Microscopy / TU Darmstadt Institute of Applied Geosciences

    ”In order to solve structures not accessible by X-ray powder diffraction, it was necessary to improve the acquisition of diffraction data significantly. When, in 2007, the first ab-initio structural analysis of barite was performed, I did not yet realize that this would be the foundation for a widely applicable 3D electron diffraction method.”

  • Dr. Bernd Hinrichsen

    Head of the XRD, Electron Microscopy and NMR Labs at BASF AG, Germany

    ”Over the past decades, electron diffraction has been a regular tool in our analyses of inorganic materials. ED instruments with proper, more tailored functionalities are required to adequately address the requirements of the crystallographic structure analysis community.”

  • Dr. Lukas Palatinus

    Head of Laboratory ED, FZU, Czech Republic

    ”Determination of the absolute configuration of organic molecules is essential in drug development and the subsequent approval process. This determination is possible thanks to electron diffraction using nanocrystalline material.”
