MolPort
MolPort is to chemical molecules what Amazon marketplace is to books, and to chemists what Google is to text search.
Chemical Sourcing: Approximately seven million unique research chemicals are sold worldwide by thousands of companies, many of them small labs. Finding if the molecule can be bought and who the seller is, let alone sourcing, is inefficient, time consuming and expensive. Even if seller is identified it often requires multiple communications between supplier and buyer – unnecessary chore for any PhD and large cost for employer. MolPort has created a world-class platform for finding, sorting and grading chemicals, so a molecule could be found and bought just as easily as a book.
Chemical Searching: There are around twenty million known chemicals. Most have long formulas that are easy to draw, but difficult to write. Existing search engines either can draw but then for technical reasons can search only within own internal databases, or can search the web as text, but in a very limited way. MolPort has created and is about to launch a web-based search engine that for the first time allows scientists to search internet and the wealth of information there by drawing a chemical structure or part of it.
