Crystallization & Polymorph Screening

For Formulation and Analytical Development teams running crystallization screens

Non-centrosymmetric crystal lattices give a direct SHS signal (no transparency requirement on the matrix), LLS tracks crystal growth in parallel, and it works in opaque/turbid matrices where transmission-based optical methods struggle.

What changes with the F1

Detect nucleation directly

Non-centrosymmetric crystal lattices give a strong direct SHS signal — no transparency requirement on the matrix.

  • Direct nucleation readout via SHS — non-centrosymmetric lattices give a signal.
  • LLS tracks crystal growth in parallel.
  • Works in matrices where optical methods struggle.

FAQ

Common questions about the Crystallization & Polymorph Screening

Second Harmonic Scattering responds to ordered crystalline assembly rather than bulk transmission, so the signal turns on as crystals form — even in suspensions that defeat transmission-based optical methods.

Yes — parallel conditions across solvents, antisolvents, pH and temperature run on a plate, with SHS as the crystal-form emergence readout.
