Software for Single-Crystal X-ray Diffraction

Designed for stability and performance, our crystallography software supports both routine measurements and complex analytical workflows in high-throughput environments. 

An intuitive user interface follows the natural progression of the experiment, simplifying setup and analysis while providing clear insight into each step. Integrated workflows connect instrument control, data handling, and analysis - guiding users through the smooth process and maximizing measurement efficiency. This structured approach improves usability and confidence in results.

Comprehensive documentation and traceability enable the creation of consistent, publication-ready reports with minimal effort. Reproducibility is ensured through detailed metadata capture and standardized data exports, supporting seamless integration with downstream tools and external analysis environments.

Our SCOUT software, in combination with our SCOUT automated management system, streamlines sample handling and data acquisition by integrating robotic control, automated centering, and diffraction-based crystal screening.

Configurable workflows, real-time system monitoring, and structured data export support reproducible, high-throughput crystallography. Access-level customization further ensures consistent operation across multi-user laboratories.

Our ISX software, in combination with the IXS Stage, enables automated in situ crystal screening directly on crystallization plates, eliminating harvesting and preserving delicate samples such as proteins or MOFs.

By combining optical sample selection, automated measurement, and job queuing, ISX accelerates crystal identification and characterization. This approach supports efficient screening and reliable structure determination under native conditions.
