The ChemACX database of commercially-available chemicals has a direct interface within Inventory Ultra, for direct linking with substances in your laboratory.



Did you know...


that CambridgeSoft's Inventory allows structure searching of the ChemACX database?


How do you find similar chemicals to a compound you're working on? CambridgeSoft's Inventory Ultra software lets you search your existing Inventory database for similar compounds that you have on hand. And, using the same interface, you can search ChemACX's comprehensive collection of online databases for similar compounds. This ChemBioClip demonstrates similarity searches in both Inventory and in ChemACX.


ChemACX is a database of available chemicals that provides a unified, up-to-date, structure-searchable source of chemicals from over 500 suppliers worldwide. The ChemACX database provides accurate supplier information, including pack size, purity and price.


CambridgeSoft's Inventory Ultra software includes a subscription to ChemACX. Our Inventory software includes a sophisticated search tool, which allows...

  • Exact structure search
  • (find one molecule anywhere in your inventory, or anywhere online)

  • Substructure search
  • (find any molecule with specified substructures)

  • Variable-attachment search
  • (find any molecule with specified R-groups)

  • Tanimoto similarity search
  • (find molecules which match some key substructures)

  • ChemDraw interface to ChemACX
  • (draw in ChemDraw for all of the above)

  • Same search for internal inventory
  • (same interface ChemACX database as to Inventory database)
