Sigma-Aldrich Web Site Teamed With Oxford Molecular Software Revolutionizes Online Structure Search and Procurement.Business Editors &Health/Medical Writers BIOWIRE2K HUNT VALLEY, Md. and ST. LOUIS--(BW HealthWire)--Feb. 8, 2000 Sigma-Aldrich's PipeLine(R) E-Commerce Web Site Adds Critical New Functionality with Integration of Oxford Molecular's RS(3) Discovery(TM) Sigma-Aldrich Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : SIAL), the world's largest provider of research chemicals, and Oxford Molecular Group (London Stock Exchange London Stock Exchange London marketplace for securities. It was formed in 1773 by a group of stockbrokers who had been doing business informally in local coffeehouses. : OMG (1) See Object Management Group. (2) "Oh my God!" See digispeak. OMG - Object Management Group ), a leading supplier of software and discovery solutions to the life sciences market, have teamed up to add innovative new functionality to Sigma-Aldrich's e-commerce Web site, www.sigma-aldrich.com. Oxford Molecular has enhanced Sigma-Aldrich's structure searching, viewing and ordering capabilities by utilizing its RS(3) Discovery(TM) information management system, which stores, searches and retrieves structures from Sigma-Aldrich's chemical database. The Sigma-Aldrich Web site offers the most robust on-line structure and substructure substructure /sub·struc·ture/ (-struk-chur) the underlying or supporting portion of an organ or appliance; that portion of an implant denture embedded in the tissues of the jaw. sub·struc·ture n. search capabilities available on the web today. Customers can define over 14 different search parameters when composing com·pose v. com·posed, com·pos·ing, com·pos·es v.tr. 1. To make up the constituent parts of; constitute or form: their search criteria. The substructure search engine supports the use of drawing tools from MDL MDL - (Originally "Muddle"). C.

Information Systems (ISIS/Draw(TM)), CambridgeSoft (ChemDraw(TM)), and Oxford Molecular (Kekule(TM)). The Sigma-Aldrich Web site offers the chemical and research industries a comprehensive database of more than 130,000 compounds available for convenient online purchase. The addition of the new interface powered by RS(3) Discovery simplifies the chemical purchasing process Purchasing Purchasing is the formal process of buying goods and services. The Purchasing Process can vary from one organization to another but there are some key elements that are common throughout The process usually starts with a 'Demand' or requirements , by allowing chemists This is a list of famous chemists: (alphabetical order) : Top - 0–9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A
&uot;The integration of our chemical database with Oxford Molecular's RS(3) Discovery represents a significant advance in convenience for our customers,&uot; said Michael Reinhard, Marketing Manager of Sigma-Aldrich Corporation. &uot;Chemists have long recognized the value of utilizing structure based product searching to facilitate their R& programs. We recognized the need for our users to be able to use those structures to search our database of available products. Thanks to the commitment and technical ability of Oxford Molecular's staff, this functionality improves upon our users' ability to search, identify and order compounds more efficiently.&uot; &uot;We have been very pleased with the opportunity to collaborate with Sigma-Aldrich on adding this important capability to their already outstanding online offerings,&uot; said Jeff Moore Jeffery D. Moore (born August 20, 1956 in Kosciusko, Mississippi) is a former American football running back in the NFL for the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers and the Washington Redskins. He played college football for Jackson State University. , Vice President of Cheminformatics for Oxford Molecular. &uot;Sigma-Aldrich's product line is an essential resource for the research community. We believe that the addition of RS(3) Discovery greatly enhances the overall usability of the Sigma-Aldrich Web site--and demonstrates Sigma-Aldrich's level of dedication to serving its customers.&uot; A Fast, Customizable Interface For Structure Searches The marriage of RS(3) Discovery with Sigma-Aldrich's comprehensive database of compounds enables users to find and order the compounds they need, quickly and easily. A user simply draws a structure, substructure or compound fragment using one of three popular chemical structure drawing tools, ChemDraw, ISIS/Draw or Kekule, and then submits it against the Sigma-Aldrich database. Users can also choose to input the name, partial name, molecular formula or weight of the compound of interest. RS(3) Discovery allows users to modify their search along the way, adjusting their queries as often as necessary. A search will then instantly yield all available Sigma-Aldrich products that fall within the stated criteria, allowing the user to then place orders directly from his or her desktop. And for those without one of the drawing tools listed above, the site offers free use of Oxford Molecular's Kekule. RS(3) Discovery is a complete enterprise-strength chemical information management system. Built entirely in Oracle(TM), RS(3) Discovery forms the core of Oxford Molecular's suite of cheminformatics solutions for storing, searching and analyzing chemical and biological data. It offers Web integration and a capability to link existing corporate database content in Oracle. RS(3) Discovery is designed to be flexible both in developing and modifying queries, and viewing structures and results, offering Sigma-Aldrich users a range of new options that facilitate multiple and customized queries. The Web site also provides many of the advanced options available in RS(3) Discovery. Sigma-Aldrich's e-commerce Web site is a complete Internet resource, designed with the chemical and research industries in mind. In addition to online product ordering, chemists and other researchers have access to a wealth of information, including Certificates of Analysis, with specifications like formula weight and relevant physical properties, and over 90,000 Material Safety Data Sheets, physical properties for over 100,000 products and 40,000 references from the Sigma-Aldrich Library of FT-IR FT-IR Fourier Transform-Infrared and FT-NMR. About Sigma-Aldrich Sigma-Aldrich develops, manufactures and distributes the broadest range of high quality biochemicals, organic chemicals, chromatography chromatography (krō'mətŏg`rəfē), resolution of a chemical mixture into its component compounds by passing it through a system that retards each compound to a varying degree; a system capable of accomplishing this is called a products and diagnostic reagents available in the world. The Company's products are used in high-tech research and development in universities and industry, in the diagnosis of disease, and as specialty chemicals A Specialty chemical is a chemical produced for a specialized use. They are produced in lower volume than bulk chemicals, of which petrochemicals, made from oil feedstocks, are the most common. However, both are produced in a chemical plant. for pharmaceutical and other manufacturing purposes in more than 160 countries. Sigma-Aldrich is committed to the success of its customers, employees and shareholders through life science, technology and service.
