  • X-ray characterization of solid small molecule organic materials
    Patent number: 8972205
    Abstract: The present invention provides, inter alia, methods of characterizing a small molecule organic material, e.g., a drug or a drug product. This method includes subjecting the solid small molecule organic material to x-ray total scattering analysis at a short wavelength, collecting data generated thereby, and mathematically transforming the data to provide a refined set of data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 2, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 3, 2015
    Assignee: The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York
    Inventors: Simon Billinge, Kenneth Shankland, Norman Shankland, Alastair Florence

  • METHODS, DEVICES AND SYSTEMS TO PROCESS X-RAY DIFFRACTION DATA
    Publication number: 20140114602
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates, inter alia, to improved devices, systems and methods for processing raw data collected from X-ray total scattering analysis of a material, which may be solid, liquid, in suspension, or in solution. This devices, systems and methods described are advantageous because they drastically reduce the amount of user interaction required to compute a PDF from diffraction data, reduce the computing time necessary to compute the PDF, and allows for automated, on-the-fly computation of PDFs without significant degradation of the PDF quality and little input from the user.
