Product news

CAS will be exhibiting their new product enhancements at Booth 3209.

CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, produces the most authoritative databases of disclosed chemical information, covering research published in journals, patents from 57 patent offices, plus chemical substances reported in many sources.

CAS products include: the CAS REGISTRYSM, the world's largest substance database; STN®; and SciFinder® research tools, with links to full-text articles and patents.

• The CAS REGISTRY database contains more than 43 million organic and inorganic substances and more than 60 million sequences, and is updated daily.

• STN is an online database service that provides global access to published research, journal literature, patents, structures, sequences, properties, and other data.

• SciFinder is a research discovery tool that allows you to explore the CAS databases that contain literature from many scientific disciplines, including biomedical sciences, chemistry, engineering, materials science, agricultural science, and more!

Science IP® , the CAS Search Service, provides fast, accurate, and comprehensive searches of the world’s scientific and patent literature.

CAS customers include chemical and pharmaceutical companies, university science departments and government agencies around the world. CAS has been connecting scientists with the work of their colleagues for more than 100 years.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.Chem / BioinformaticsCheminformatics and bioinformatics are computational techniques used in chemistry and biology, respectively, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Cheminformatics focuses on compound information, whereas bioinformatics is mainly applied to analysis and modeling of genomics, genetic and sequencing information. Hardware and software is available for data acquisition, analysis, management and storage.Medicinal ChemistryMedicinal chemistry is a broad discipline encompassing the design, identification, synthesis and development of chemicals in drug discovery. It includes a number of techniques covering structural biology, synthetic chemistry and molecular biology. Technologies used in medicinal chemistry include ADME, lab-on-a-chip, high content screening and assay assembly.Process ChemistryProcess chemistry is an important stage of drug development for scaling-up drug production or chemical synthesis reactions. It is useful for optimizing economical and efficient drug production. Process chemistry uses reactors and pump systems as well as reagents, standards and buffers.DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations. Find the best DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.
