MORE THAN A SEARCH AND RETRIEVAL TOOL

"SciFinder far exceeded my expectations of what I could achieve with a research and scientific information platform. Rather than being a simple search and retrieval tool, it became my ‘lab partner’ to help me address my hypothesis. In all my experience of working in drug discovery, I haven’t found any other product able to do this."

A SOLUTION FOR QUICKLY FINDING RELEVANT SCIENCE AND CONNECTING CONCEPTS

Powering the CAS SciFinder Discovery Platform is a team of hundreds of scientific experts that read every article and patent in the CAS Content Collection and extract the critical information scientists care about.

Through their work, we ensure that your search for a specific concept, method, formulation, or molecule returns the most relevant references for your needs.

But more than a relevance search engine, the interface is carefully designed to enable you to make novel connections between disparate pieces of information, driving insight and speeding innovation.
