Crystallise! AG: The Pillars
Dr. G. Steinfeld and Dr. G. Santiso-Quinones both are chemists. For more than 10 years they have worked as researchers in various renowned universities. They also have worked with extremely sensitive (air, moisture, temperature) materials. With more than 22 years of experience each in crystallography they can handle almost any kind of crystals.
Several (non-standard) crystallization methods form the background that makes Crystallise! AG a strong partner for industrial research facilities.
Among the qualities of Crystallise! AG the ability to crystallize almost any kind of small molecules is what comes into play.
Gunther and Gustavo are also founders of Eldico Scientific AG
Eldico Scientific AG, Switzerland
The Founders
Gunther and Gustavo met in 2006 at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg. Both worked for a couple of years as post-docs for Prof. Dr. Ingo Krossing. During this time they were distinguished among the work group as tenacious and persistant for X-ray and crystallography. Among their success was the crystallization of pure liquids under the cryo-stream of the diffractometer.
Based on their long lasting friendship and with their strong background in crystallography, both have taken the leap into the entrepreneurs world. In September 2014, they have founded and registered their own company (Crystallise! AG). The main goal of the company is to provide all kinds of crystallographic services to the chemical, pharmaceutical and agro industry.
Fuhrthermore, in 2018 (after 4 years of running the company), they published in collaboration with Dr. T. Gruene a paper which was nominated by Science for "Breakthrough of the year 2018". This is the bases and pilars of a second company: Eldico Scientific. Angew.Chem.Int.Ed. Paper,
