X-Ray Structural Centre (XRSC) - one of the most efficient X-ray
structural laboratories in the world - carries out as well on a commercial
basis X-ray structural analysis of crystals of virtually all classes of
compounds, including those highly unstable, liquid or even gaseous at ambient
temperature (excluding proteins and high polymers).
If you send a small crystal sample (about 0.5 mm) or a 10-15 mm long
capillary filled with a liquid, we will provide you with a wealth of fully
objective information on empirical formula, molecular structure, accurate
bond lengths and angles, molecular conformation and absolute configuration,
peculiarities of crystal packing, and/or optionally molecular mechanics and
quantum chemistry analysis of the structure.
Best experimental equipment, extensive computing and computer graphics
facilities, and above all highly skilled personnel with many years of
experience in the field are the guarantees of prompt service (several days
for urgent orders), absolute reliability, and highest possible accuracy of
the results.
Our Centre is capable of fulfilling all your X-ray crystallography needs
at great savings of time and money. The world has become quite small and
you'll have no problems contacting us. Just give it a try - send a few
crystals of your sample by express mail, e.g. DHL or TNT, and in almost no
time you'll receive the molecular structure by fax or E-mail. Best of all -
your first crystal structure is free! And you will be surprised by our
regular prices that are significantly lower than anywhere else. We guarantee
full confidentiality and will have no claims for co-authorship or any other
rights to the information related to or obtained by the XRSC as a part of its
commercial activities.
The XRSC is also an official affiliation Centre for distribution of the
current version of the Cambridge Structural Database in Russia and former
USSR countries. At present, new CSD version is distributed by XRSC at 55
institutions and organizations.
