Patent ID: 7892354

Claim:
In a process for the detection of polymorphic or pseudopolymorphic forms of solid, molecular and crystallizing organic compounds, or of molecular, cocrystalline organic compounds or of solid solutions which consist of at least two solid, molecular and crystallizing organic compounds, in a series investigation using parallel investigations in vessels of an array under different conditions in each vessel, and the identification thereof using separate detection units, in which organic compounds which crystallize, crystallize with salt formation and/or form solvates or hydrates and crystallize are treated in the presence of identical or different solvents or solvent mixtures under identical or different physical conditions and optionally with salt, solvate or hydrate formation or formation of cocrystalline organic compounds or solid solutions until a phase equilibrium is established, the improvement which comprises that only a substantially amorphous form of the crystallizing organic compound or only a substantially amorphous form of an organic compound in a mixture of at least two organic compounds is used as a suspension or solution, wherein “substantially amorphous” means that amorphous substances contain crystalline phases by only up to 10% by weight.
