Symyx Technologies, Inc., a US-based provider of technologies for R&D, has announced that researchers using Symyx Available Chemicals Directory (previously MDL Available Chemicals Directory or MDL ACD), now have the option of accessing up-to-date ACD data via the internet using XML-based web service. The Symyx Available Chemicals Directory (ACD) is claimed to be one the largest structure-searchable collection of commercially available chemicals in the world.
The Symyx ACD Web Service is part of a growing new generation of Symyx workflow tools available to researchers today. It was developed with design input from a global pharmaceutical R&D organisation seeking business process efficiencies and a simplified mechanism for distributing dynamically updated chemical sourcing data to globally dispersed project teams. Research organisations can use this web service to update internal data sources and deliver sourcing data directly to scientists using in-house-developed applications that integrate with existing laboratory workflows.
The Symyx ACD contains more than 605,000 structures representing nearly 1.7 million products and 3.4 million packages available for purchase, in bulk and research quantities. The database can be searched by structure and substance identifiers to retrieve all available data.
