Here’s a sample of what’s available via SFS:

  • More than 13 million single- and multi-step reactions
  • More than 1 billion predicted and experimental properties
  • The CAS REGISTRYSM database – the original source and final authority for CAS Registry Numbers – updated daily
  • All patent records, meeting CAS selection criteria, from 9 of the major patent offices are available online within 2 days of the patents’ issuance
  • Sequences combined from CAS and GenBank databases, which are indexed and linked to scientific journal and patent literature
  • Direct linking from SciFinder Scholar to IUP’s e-journal collection
