SciFinder enhancements - June 2025

Read below to learn more about new visualizations in CAS SciFinder® and updates to your CAS Formulus® user experience.

Claimed substance indicator

When a substance is indexed within a patent, a new role indicator is included to show that the substance has been claimed. This will allow you to easily see claimed substances within the existing view.

Crossover control update

The crossover control mechanism on the search results page has been enhanced to be more descriptive, helping alleviate confusion when distinguishing the labels for switching tabs within a results set and selecting crossovers within a specific tab.

Search and property updates in CAS Formulus

• Single term queries in Advanced Search – Leverage the precise Advanced Search capabilities using a single term query. This search can feature a single Form, Function, Ingredient, Purpose, Route, or Target. Additional search options can then be added to expand the initial query as needed.
• Enhanced physical properties – Access experimental physical property information on an Ingredient detail page. This enables you to see properties such as solubility, pH, viscosity, vapor pressure, surface tension, and heat capacity alongside existing physical properties.

For a full overview of this month’s enhancements, visit the “What’s New?” section in CAS SciFinder and the “What’s New?” section in CAS Formulus.

Reaxys

Users need to use a personal sign in rather than an institutional sign in to be able to export search results e.g. to Endnote.
