Instantly identify and prioritize ideal compounds for R&D innovations from worldwide data. The result of a collaboration between Dow and CAS, this tool will lead to better, quicker solutions, in industrial and agricultural chemistry, catalysis, drug discovery, and other areas, especially in identifying substitutes for Materials of Concern.
Hear the story from Dow Leaders
With millions of materials to choose from, compounds with key metrics are identified in a matter of seconds. Simultaneously filtering on various requirements is estimated to be 100 times faster than sequential searching.
Additionally, prioritizing the most promising leads for experimental testing reduces lab work, saving additional time and reducing waste.
Materials that are safer for workers and the environment with improved performance are the most desirable solutions.
Researchers can search by properties, structure, hazard phrases, and commercial availability which helps them select the most sustainable materials to meet their performance needs, including identifying replacements for substances of concern.
The tool utilizes the technology and content that underpin CAS scientific information solutions relied on by millions of researchers worldwide.
This elegant design lowers the learning and change management curves while providing an extremely powerful new capability that dramatically improves both the speed and efficiency of scientific discovery.
Manual searches required sifting through countless results and using intuition to make complex scientific connections among similar compounds. Some searches were too cumbersome to even consider.
Now, even the most complex searches can be done in minutes by specialized technologies that can extract a multitude of attributes about a complex compound and its 3D structure with precision and specificity.
Dow sought to replace a digester aid with one that was free of EH&S concerns, while maintaining or increasing pulp yield. More than 250,000,000 molecular candidates were screened and reduced to 12 based on seven chemical, physical, hazard, and economic criteria.
The largest human-curated collection of scientific data in the world, the CAS Content Collection™ is trusted world-wide by innovation leaders for current and accurate substance data, sequences, reactions, commercial availability, references, and more.
