MDL® Available Chemicals Directory

MDL Available Chemicals Directory is now produced quarterly!

MDL Available Chemicals Directory provides access to pricing and supplier information for over 400,000 research-grade and bulk chemicals, making it the largest structure-searchable database of commercially available chemicals. The database includes information on product purities, forms, grades, available quantities, and prices, along with supplier and distributor contact information. Available Chemicals Directory is available in five formats, including a relational format, and is available with 2D structures or 3D molecular models. Available Chemicals Directory runs on the industry standards MDL ISIS and Oracle.

Highlights:

Search by structure or data: The Available Chemicals Directory/Finder allows you to identify chemicals using structure or substructure, chemical name or synonym, CAS Registry Numbers, or molecular weight and formula as the search criteria.

Access safety and hazard data: The Available Chemicals Directory/Finder allows you to link to MSDSs available in MDL's OHS MSDS databases licensed at your site.

Compounds for HTS: MDL Screening Compounds Directory (formerly Available Chemicals Directory-Screening Compounds), contains over two million structures to provide a diverse collection to support screening programs.

MDL Chemical Products Information file: This file contains the catalog data found in the MDL Available Chemicals Directory in a relational format built in Oracle. The MDL Chemical Products Information file allows users to readily search catalog data, including catalog number, price, purity, and price per gram. It can be used in conjunction with MDL ACD, or with proprietary and 3rd party applications and is required for MDL SMART, MDL CIMS, and MDL Reagent Selector.
