6. CAS Content
“Being able to rapidly search for important chemical information while an idea
is fresh in your mind is almost priceless. CAS databases streamline the
investigative process – allowing you to take an idea and rapidly find the
important and necessary information before you forget about the idea or it loses
its excitement. That really is invaluable.”
Dr. Robert H. Grubbs
Nobel Laureate
Victor and Elizabeth Atkins Professor of Chemistry
California Institute of Technology

7. CAS scientists analyze, summarize and make scientific
information accessible to colleagues worldwide
Proprietary, standardized indexing in CAS
databases ensures consistent, comprehensive
search results.
