SDPD Internet Course
 
The SDPD (Structure Determination by Powder Diffractometry) Internet Course is accomplished in 10 sessions, exclusively on Internet and asynchronous. Students are expected to work at least 8 hours per week on the documents and exercises sent by e-mail. The diploma is attributed after a final examination consisting in the structure determination of an unknown compound in 2 weeks.

Why is it useful ? Many samples, organic or pharmaceutical, as well as inorganic, cannot be prepared as crystals of suitable size for a standard structure determination (using a four-circles single crystal diffractometer). However, you or your company may need to access to the crystal structure for some reasons like : patent deposit, polymorphs characterization, applied or fundamental research, etc. Therefore, call us, and learn !
