Research by Drawing

Phenomenex has introduced a Structure Search functionality for accessing the Company’s library of over 6,000 HPLC/UHPLC, GC, and sample preparation applications. While other websites and libraries require the user to enter the analyte compound name or keyword, the manufacturer now enables researchers to simply draw the chemical structure – something that is second nature to them – for significant timesavings. This approach is easy for researchers at all experience levels and, because chemical structures are universal throughout the world, it is equally convenient for users in other countries.

The applications library with Structure Search meets the needs of chromatographers in all settings, including environmental, food safety, pharmaceutical and biomolecular, protein and chiral compound research. Traditional keyword and name search requirements are problematic when the target compound is unknown or proprietary. Now the user draws the structure, or its critical parts, and the online tool provides information on all similar compounds.
