Malvern Panalytical's HighScore Software for Powder Diffraction
Malvern Panalytical and the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) have agreed that users of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) can utilize this database in Malvern Panalytical’s HighScore software suite for the analysis of powder diffractograms without additional costs. This feature is the result of the close collaboration between the renowned Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre and Malvern Panalytical, a leading supplier of analytical X-ray instrumentation and software.

The HighScore software offers X-ray diffraction data treatments, phase identifications, reporting and profile fits. The (semi-) automatic handling of many datasets by configurable batches and similarity analysis are distinguishing features. The CSD is the most recent reference database added to HighScore. The Plus option adds phase fits (Rietveld, Pawley, LeBail and more), standardless quantifications with crystal structures and scripting to the basic HighScore package.
The main benefits for joint users of the CSD and HighScore (Plus) are:
- Use of the CSD database for the identification of (mixtures of) organic materials, as sole data source or in combination with other databases
- Direct availability of crystal structure information for identified phases, allowing subsequent structure refinement or quantitative analysis without the need of manually importing this data
These benefits are available in version 4.6 of the HighScore software suite. The combination of HighScore with the CSD database extends phase identifications, structure fits and applications to pharmaceutical, organic and metal-organic structures.
