Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), the world's authority for chemical information, and PerkinElmer, Inc., a global leader focused on improving the health and safety of people and the environment, have announced a collaboration to combine the power of two leading chemistry solutions - SciFinder and ChemBioDraw.
The ChemBioDraw 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.
New functionality is being developed to enable a ChemBioDraw user to directly initiate a search in SciFinder, providing access to comprehensive content available in the CAS databases. The integrated solution is expected to be available in early 2014.
