Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), the world's authority for chemical information, and PerkinElmer, have officially released their shared research solution, pairing SciFinder®, the choice for chemistry research™, with ChemDraw® software, the drawing tool of choice for chemists.
The ChemDraw platform is a digital drawing tool for chemists and biologists to create publication-ready, scientifically intelligent drawings for use in ELNs, databases and publications. SciFinder is a research discovery application that provides integrated access to the world's most comprehensive and authoritative source of references, substances and reactions in chemistry and related sciences, which are collected, organised and indexed by CAS scientists.
This collaboration between two industry innovators, first announced in December 2013, allows users to draw a structure using the ChemBioDraw Ultra 14 offering and then initiate a SciFinder session to search the structure. ChemBioDraw Ultra software automatically detects whether the structure is a single substance, or the reactant or product of a reaction. Researchers can now save considerable time when using both products.
