CrystoGen Limited

CrystoGen Ltd develops crystal-growth simulation software designed to help researchers understand crystallisation and tailor experimental procedures. Its CrystoGen environment uses generic Monte Carlo methods, based on the CrystalGrower engine, to model crystal habits and nanoscale surface topography. The software supports simulations of crystal growth from solution and offers tools for exploring factors that influence growth, including supersaturation, solvents, surface energies, screw dislocations, growth modifiers and crystal seeds. Recent features include seed engineering, growth at interfaces and on different Miller planes, and solvent screening through a graphical interface.

CrystoGen provides downloadable software, input and output resources, and options for visualising crystal structures and growth. Its website also offers quick-start instructions, FAQs, detailed guidance on simulation settings, video tutorials and learning materials, including activities on salt crystals, chocolate polymorphism and honey crystallisation. Users can find information about citing the underlying scientific methods and contact the team with questions. The platform serves researchers and others seeking practical tools to investigate and communicate crystal-growth behaviour.
