Quantum Design UK and Ireland is delighted to announce a new partnership with Eldico Scientific, becoming the official representative and distributor of the Eldico ED-1 electron diffractometer in the UK and Ireland. This exciting addition to our portfolio further strengthens our commitment to bringing world-class scientific instrumentation to researchers, universities, and industry.
The Eldico ED-1 is a next-generation electron diffractometer designed specifically for electron diffraction experiments. Unlike conventional TEM-based solutions, the ED-1 offers a dedicated platform for rapid, precise, and highly reproducible structural analysis of nano- and microcrystalline materials. Its intuitive workflow and powerful detection capabilities enable researchers to achieve high-quality data faster and more reliably, making it an invaluable tool for crystallographers, chemists, materials scientists, and pharmaceutical researchers.
At Quantum Design UK and Ireland, we pride ourselves on supporting scientific discovery through both technology and expertise. Adding the Eldico ED-1 to our lineup reflects our ongoing mission to provide innovative tools that address real research challenges.
“The Eldico ED-1 represents a significant leap forward in electron diffraction,” said Dr. Luke Nicholls, Acting Managing Director of Quantum Design UK and Ireland. “We’re excited to work with Eldico Scientific and to offer this groundbreaking instrument to our customers. Our team looks forward to supporting UK and Irish researchers as they explore the ED-1’s full potential.”
Based in Leatherhead, Surrey, Quantum Design UK and Ireland has built a strong reputation for not only supplying sophisticated tools for materials characterisation, cryogenics, imaging, spectroscopy, and microscopy, but also for offering expert guidance, training, and long-term service support. The partnership with Eldico Scientific fits seamlessly with our approach of cultivating trusted relationships and empowering scientific innovation.
