BANGALORE, India, August 29, 2011/PRNewswire /-
• SciFinder offers Syngene scientists access to an extensive chemical coverage, global patent information
Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS http://www.cas.org), the global leader in chemical information, announced today that Syngene International http://www.syngeneintl.com/syngene.asp, a subsidiary and international reputation of Biocon Limited contract research organization, the largest India biotechnology company, has signed a three year contract to provide its scientists unlimited access to SciFinder http://www.cas.org/products/scifindr/index.html, a CAS award winning chemistry research tool.
SciFinder offers Syngene the scope and depth of the chemistry required by scientists in global enterprises today. With daily updates of the contents of the database, SciFinder provides scientists with Syngene more timely information to help them progress in their investigation.
Using SciFinder, Syngene scientists have access to CAS REGISTRY (SM), the largest collection worldwide dissemination of information on chemicals, with a total of more than 61 million unique small molecular substances.
SciFinder also offers Syngene scientists access to global information on patents, allowing fast and reliable searches to help them identify options of research and make more new discoveries.
SciFinder is a critical tool that ensures that our scientists have the wide range of information needed to accelerate research, allowing the growth of our consumers and ensure that we remain competitive, global chemical ” said Dr. Manoj Nerurkar, head of discovery and development of small molecules in Syngene. CAS is an invaluable partner for our continued success in a market global dynamic ”
Syngene scientists will also benefit from SciPlanner ™, a new SciFinder feature which allows scientists more quickly identify synthesis options for designing better ways and approaches to research.
With an average of 1.8 million records of new substances originating of new global patent applications each year, is more important than ever before for researchers to access databases that reflect a commitment to the new chemistry that emerges from all sources, not only of a group of newspapers or limited patent coverage, ” said Christine McCue, Vice President of Marketing at CAS. The scope, depth and reliability of the chemical information provided by the CAS databases through SciFinder are incomparable. We are proud to extend access to SciFinder for Syngene scientists for synthesis and its full range of research needs chemistry. ”
