Complete ReaxysFile Now Available on STN

ReaxysFile is a major factual database containing fully searchable chemical structures and reactions, associated with a depth of chemical and physical properties—all experimentally measured. With historical data dating from 1771 and the most relevant current publications (journals and patents) in organic, inorganic, and organometallic chemistry, ReaxysFile forms a valuable part of STN for information professionals and patent experts looking either for pinpoint accuracy concerning a particular substance or while searching for broader research questions.

Information on several million substances has been added, including inorganic substances and substances derived from patents, bringing the database to the same content level as in Reaxys. This will immediately increase information professionals’ and patent experts’ efficiency when investigating new research opportunities, performing freedom-to-operate searches or looking for reliable chemical substance information. ReaxysFile can also be used to retrieve relevant information for meeting regulatory requirements on chemicals (e.g., REACH).

“We are pleased to see the collaboration with Elsevier further extended by this successful update to the ReaxysFile,” says Rainer Stuike-Prill, vice president marketing and sales at FIZ Karlsruhe. “Reaxys is widely acknowledged as a valuable source for a detailed view of chemistry data. With the addition of the full version of ReaxysFile to STN users benefit from more comprehensive and precise search results.”
