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.
