Scifinder-n is a powerful, chemist-curated database from CAS offering reference, substance and reaction searching with sophisticated analysis tools. Substances can be searched by chemical structure, markush (for Patents), molecular formula, property or substance identifier.

All alternative substance names are listed alongside CAS Registry numbers and commercial sources.

Tools including MethodsNow (showing every experimental step for ease of replication in the lab) and PatentPak (enabling you to get straight to the novel chemistry information in a Patent document).

Popular in industry, this database is vital for students and researchers in chemistry, pharmacy, forensic science, medicinal chemistry, chemical engineering and biotechnology.

When accessing SciFinder-n for the first time, you will be asked to enter your Newcastle University email address and to confirm this via a verification code. Once you have confirmed the verification code, you will be given access to SciFinder-n and you won't need to confirm your identity the next time you access it.

You can now set personal preferences, explore resources, and save your own searches. You can also browse your search history and set up alerts and notifications.
