Webinar – Revealing Hidden Solid Forms Using Automated Electron Diffraction

With the ELDICO ED-1

Electron Diffraction (3D ED / microED) has rapidly evolved from a scientific breakthrough into a powerful and established complement to single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD). By overcoming the long-standing limitation of crystal size, continuous-rotation electron diffraction enables reliable structure determination from nanocrystalline materials that are inaccessible to conventional methods.

About the Webinar

In this webinar, Dr. Gustavo Santiso-Quinones (ELDICO Scientific AG) demonstrates how dedicated and automated electron diffractometers fundamentally change solid-state characterisation. With a strong focus on pharmaceutical and (agro-)chemical applications, he shows how automated ED workflows deliver robust results even when sample quantities are extremely limited or when other analytical techniques fail.

Key Topics

• Structure elucidation and confirmation of absolute configuration
• Identification of impurities and unknown phases
• Detection and characterisation of polymorphs
• Automated electron diffraction for efficient solid-form screening

Special attention is given to Automated Electron Diffraction, highlighting how reduced manual intervention and higher throughput enable the discovery of solid forms that might otherwise remain undetected — including in real-world, commercial samples.
