About SciFinder

SciFinder Scholar is a discovery tool that searches the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) databases, which cover research from many scientific disciplines, including biomedical sciences, chemistry, engineering, material science, and agricultural science. Search for research articles, patent information, chemical structures, substructures, biological sequences, and reactions. SciFinder is linked to full-text articles through both the CAS and Simmons databases.
