Crystallography is an invaluable tool to understand atomic structure. The knowledge at atomic
scale of small and large molecules is crucial for many biomedical and biotechnological applications, ranging
from drug design and optimization to enzyme functional studies and engineering. The physical properties of
the solid state seen in crystals and powders of both drugs and pharmaceutical excipients are of interest because
the nature of the crystalline form of a drug substance, due to polymorphism, may affect both the production
and formulation as well as its stability in the solid state, its solution properties and its absorption. We offer a
comprehensive access to state of the art X-ray diffraction tools and methodologies, supporting all the steps,
from sample preparation to 3D structure analysis.
