Product Information

Working in the field of drug design?  Find answers to your formulating questions and conduct formulation-specific searches with this SciFinder Discover Platform application!  The Formulation database starts with the indexing and annotation of patents and journals by our team of experienced scientist curators. They extract information specific to the formulation so you can quickly see the formulation details, explore specific ingredients, and view the source of the information.

Features:

  • Formulation Designer provides you with a template based on your selections for industry, purpose, physical form, and active/featured ingredients.
  • Access formulation-specific details including components, processes, and experimental activities.
  • Searches return regulatory information that shows “commonly used as,” “commonly formulated with,” and more.
  • Visualize the data with Layer and Effectiveness for a detailed view of the formulation that provides groups for each layer and keeps the grouped components together for a quicker understanding of formulation science.
  • Compare and contrast supplier offerings for formula components.
