Introduction to The Merck Index: Basic Search and Structure Search

Presenter: Jesse Gordon
Company: PerkinElmer Informatics
Duration: 4 min
Issue: 20.1

The Merck Index is an electronic version of the premier go-to reference for scientists that provides comprehensive and precise data on compounds of current or historic interest, and unlike other versions of The Merck Index, our product is structure- and substructure-searchable.

This video demonstrates substructure search and basic search in the online edition of The Merck Index.

Scientists need a resource describing chemicals, human and veterinary drugs, natural products and biologicals. The 14th Edition of The Merck Index includes:

  • Over 700 new and completely revised monographs
  • Thousands of new references, trademarks, uses, and physical properties added to existing monographs
  • Expanded focus on " Green Chemistry" and compounds of environmental significance
  • Recalculated molecular weights using the 2005 IUPAC Table of Standard Atomic Weights
  • Up-to-date U.S. regulatory information on carcinogens and controlled substances
  • Extensively revised supplemental tables now including Acronyms, Vaccines, and Physical Constants
