From the first day we owned it, SmartChem database became important tool in my daily practice.

We found it very helpful for our portfolio management, products selection, alternative synthetic routes exploring, suppliers evaluation, etc. Simplicity and faithfulness of the web-based version makes the usage simple and very accessible.
