ELDICO Scientific AG

ELDICO Scientific AG

ELDICO SCIENTIFIC AG (The Electron Diffraction Company) is a Swiss deep-tech company founded in 2019. ELDICO develops, manufactures and markets electron diffractometers (ED) for compound analysis, enabling industrial and scientific researchers to characterize previously unmeasurable nanocrystalline systems where conventional methods (X-ray) fail. Eldico's electron diffractometers enable studies of nanocrystalline systems at least 1 million times smaller in volume. This allows hundreds of thousands of known, but not fully characterized, solids to be rapidly analyzed for commercial potential. The Eldico technology is a disruptive innovation that will help triple the number of drug candidates. It can help the pharmaceutical industry accelerate the drug discovery process and also open up fascinating new commercial prospects for the agrochemical, chemical and materials industries.
