ELDICO Scientifc AG and Crystallise! have joined forces to offer a powerful solution for solid-state analytics and structural elucidation. This collaboration merges the strengths of both companies, combining Eldico’s advanced electron diffraction technology with Crystallise!’s expertise in crystal growth and preparative lab techniques.
Dr. James Berwick CEO at Eldico Scientific, anticipates that the new ELDICO Crystallographic Expert Solutions and Services will become a key player in the market. This integrated approach offers a comprehensive range of crystallographic services, built on Eldico’s cutting-edge equipment and Crystallise!’s proven ability to grow high-quality crystals from small molecule samples. Dr. Gustavo Santiso-Quinones, CTO of Crystallise!, highlights the company’s 85% success rate in crystallization for structural elucidation.
The combined expertise of the two companies offers a broad spectrum of crystallographic analysis, including:
• Electron diffraction (3D ED/microED) for rapid and accurate structure determination of nanoparticles
• Crystal mapping for quick unit cell determination and identification
• Inert transfer and low-temperature measurements
• Impurity, polymorph, and phase identification
• Characterization of co-crystals, salts, and amorphous solid dispersions
In addition to these capabilities, Crystallise! brings extensive experience with X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) techniques, offering services such as:
• Successful crystal growth for structural elucidation
• Crystallization of specific polymorphs, hydrates, and solvates
• Cryogenic handling of sensitive compounds from mother liquor
• Crystallization from as little as 5 mg of sample
• And other specialized techniques
Noteworthy offerings from this partnership include:
• Crystallization with as little as 100 μg of sample for electron diffraction
• Efficient enhancement of crystallinity in nano-powders for structural analysis
• Crystallization and structural elucidation of natural products and metabolites with minimal sample availability
• New solutions tailored for the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, aimed at accelerating drug development
Dr. Gunther Steinfeld and Dr. Gustavo Santiso-Q, founders of both companies, emphasized that this collaboration effectively unites complementary strengths, with even more innovations expected in the future.
