Crystal clear diagnostics
Crystalytics has developed a two-step analysis using polarization microscopy and Raman spectroscopy for diagnostic research into crystal-related diseases and diseases that are the result of the exposure to toxic particles.
Crystalytics has a comprehensive and growing database for the analysis of pathological crystals and toxic microparticles.
Crystalytics actively seeks new clinical application possibilities for its technology.
Mission
Our mission is to deliver optimal diagnostics for patients with crystal-related diseases and diseases that are the result of the exposure to toxic microparticles worldwide. We want to contribute to a correct and timely diagnosis with optimal care in a growing group of patients. Our innovation is based on clinical expertise and solid scientific research. The societal contribution to people and the environment is leading.
Vision
Through the application of a polarization microscope with integrated Raman technology for the analysis of all sorts of body fluids and tissues. We want to become the new standard method for the identification of crystals and toxic microparticles. We offer a sustainable, affordable, and user-friendly technology that is suitable for use in any hospital or laboratory.
Technology
Our unique technology offers an innovative combination of polarization microscopy and Raman spectroscopy (iRPolM).
Polarization microscopy has been considered the gold standard in rheumatology since the 1960s, but it is subjective and lacks specificity. The addition of Raman spectroscopy precisely addresses this issue: it allows for the non-destructive acquisition of molecular fingerprints from the samples.
The Crystalytics device, the iRPolM, is easy to use due to its automated and integrated calibration procedures and simple measurement method. Our compact, tabletop device is highly suitable for point-of-care analyses in outpatient clinics and can be easily integrated into clinical laboratories. The interpretation of the results is automated through our database, requiring minimal additional training of the analyst.
Sample processing
Crystalytics works as a Contract Research Organisation (CRO), specialized in performing Raman spectroscopic analysis on humane samples. We can provide trustworthy data for e.g. medical research, clinical studies, life science, ecological research. With Raman spectroscopy, we can provide chemical fingerprinting of microscopic particles in humane material. We have experience in the analysis of numerous sample types, including:
- Tissue samples
- Synovial fluid
- Kidney stones
- Urine
- Viable primary derived cells
- Human hair
- Other
Depending on your needs, we can place one of our devices at your site, or we can perform the sample analysis for you at our own site in the Netherlands. We know that for you as a scientist, your samples are highly precious. In any case, we take care to make sure your samples and research data are handled safely.
