The Industry Services group at the Canadian Light Source is a dedicated team of experts whose mission is to bring the power of synchrotron-based tools to Canadian industry. We provide everything from simple purchased access to full-service experimental design, execution, and analysis. Synchrotron-based techniques provide insights into the chemistry and structure of samples from the macroscale down to the molecular level.
We have specialists in focus areas including environmental science, health sciences, agriculture, and advanced materials. Contact one of our helpful staff today to learn more about how we can put the brightest light in Canada to work for you!

From Mining to Oil & Gas to Soil Sciences and beyond
We have a proven track record of working with the mining industry to solve their most intractable problems. There are many ways that our powerful analytical tools can support mining operations, from exploration to production to tailings management. Whether it’s providing a complete profile of arsenic species in a tailings management facility or determining the presence of trace minerals in a core sample, we routinely work with large mining companies and consulting firms to provide insights that conventional analytical labs are unable to offer. Talk to one of our consultants today to figure out how we can put the brightest light in Canada to work for you!

From Drug Development to Biomedical Imaging
The primary technique used by our pharmaceutical clients is macromolecular crystallography (MX). MX provides detailed protein structures at angstrom-level spatial precision. Knowing the exact structures of target proteins and enzymes allows for the rational design of drugs and cofactors that interact with the active sites of target macromolecules. Aside from MX, we also offer analytical services for small molecule diffraction, which provides detailed structures of organic molecules such as drugs. We have a great deal of experience in drug development, so contact us today to see how we can help!
