Revealing Hidden Solid Forms Using Automated Electron Diffraction – 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.

In this webinar, Dr. Gustavo Santiso-Quinones (ELDICO Scientific AG) demonstrates how dedicated and automated electron diffractometers fundamentally change solid-state characterization. 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 characterization 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.
