Phenomenex online applications library with Structure Search functionality

Phenomenex has announced Structure Search functionality for accessing the company’s library of over 6000 HPLC/UHPLC, GC and sample preparation applications.

While other websites and libraries require the user to enter the analyte compound name or keyword - which can be problematic when the target compound is unknown or proprietary - the application enables researchers to simply draw the chemical structure, or its critical parts, and the online tool provides information about the target compound, its characteristics and other compounds that are similar.

The 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 tool therefore meets the needs of chromatographers in all settings, including environmental, food safety, pharmaceutical and biomolecular, protein and chiral compound research.

Access to the applications library via Structure Search is free of charge at http://www.phenomenex.com/structuresearch.
