STOE & Cie GmbH

STOE develops, manufactures and sells scientific instruments for the non-destructive analysis of samples. Based on the X-ray diffraction (XRD) method, these systems characterize single crystals and powder samples and give answers to which substances a particular powder or crystal contains or at which positions atoms in solid bodies are. Originally founded in 1887 with the primary objective of manufacturing equipment for the optical examination of crystals, STOE has been at the forefront of powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction since the 1960s. STOE invented and patented the transmission geometry technique for Powder XRD and additionally, developed the first pixel detector XRD system with an open Eulerian cradle for single crystals. Based in Darmstadt, Germany, STOE keeps the R&D, software programming, electrical and mechanical engineering, and production all in house, allowing to provide customers with standard as well as individual solutions. STOE is committed to delivering uncompromising quality, distinguishing themselves through their meticulous attention to detail. As a result, they have become THE partner in X-Ray Diffraction for crystallographers, chemists, material scientists, and pharmacists worldwide.
