CAS SciFinder®
Más allá de ser una base de datos de bibliografía científica y compuestos químicos, CAS SciFinder se basa en una catalogación realizada por expertos para ofrecer información pertinente y útil que le permitirá agilizar su proceso de innovación.
Why CAS SciFinder matters for chemistry R&D
In today’s fast-paced research environment, chemists can’t afford to risk their next breakthrough by relying on disconnected systems or incomplete data. Whether you’re developing new materials, optimizing a synthesis route, or scaling up production, every decision depends on fast access to trusted chemical knowledge.
CAS SciFinder integrates substance, reaction, and reference data into a single platform, curated by scientists and updated daily.
- Reduce time spent searching for relevant information.
- Avoid costly failures and wasted materials.
- Improve collaboration across teams with shared insights.
Identify with confidence
Without a trusted chemical substance database, your research can be incomplete or unimpactful. Eliminate doubt with expert verified information you can trust.
- Search by structure, name, or CAS Registry Number®.
- Access curated data from journals, patents, and more.
- Utilize AI-interpreted queries that deliver relevant chemical results faster.
"CAS SciFinder is my preferred research solution because it significantly speeds up the search for specific molecular structures. It is incredibly handy in patent investigations and in finding chemical suppliers, making my research process more efficient and effective."
