Designing a suitably diverse, yet specifically targeted set of available compounds to explore a new structure-activity relationship or validate a new bioassay is getting easier – with new smart SAR and assay design tools developed in-house or available from open-source sites and commercial software vendors. So far, so good. But where will you find these compounds and get them delivered, ready to run through your new bank of bioassay types? Surely that’s the easy part…
In response to customer requests, MolPort is pleased to announce the addition of solubility flags to its online chemical sourcing database. Quick links: Press Release Why we are doing this? Read in MolPort blog Customers purchasing large numbers of screening compounds report that typically 1-5% of the samples they receive cannot be tested, because they are not sufficiently soluble in standard solvents. This wastes timeand money, and delays the screening process. Several customers worked with…
Searching for suppliers for a few compounds at a time by name or structure is simple enough, even when additional criteria like amount required or purity are important.
