  • Low-background scattering x-ray diffractometer devices, systems, and methods
    Patent number: 8737564
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to devices for creating a low-background scattering environment proximate to the stage of an x-ray diffractometer, x-ray diffractometer systems comprising the same, and methods for collecting x-ray diffraction data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 2011
    Date of Patent: May 27, 2014
    Assignee: Aptuit (West Lafayette), LLC

  • Methods for indexing solid forms of compounds
    Patent number: 8576985
    Abstract: The methods of the invention determine the unit cell parameters of a crystalline solid form using diffraction data and applying an algorithm. Using the algorithm, the unit cell parameters may be determined, which may allow one to distinguish between different crystalline solid forms of a substance.
