 CAS, the world's authority for chemical information, and PerkinElmer, the global leader on improving human and environmental health, collaborated to combine the power of two leading chemistry solutions: SciFinder ® and ChemDraw ®. The ChemDraw platform is a digital drawing tool for chemists and biologists to create publication-ready, scientifically intelligent drawings for use in ELNs, databases and publications. SciFinder is a research discovery application that provides integrated access to the world's most comprehensive and authoritative source of references, substances and reactions in chemistry and related sciences, which are collected, organized and indexed by CAS scientists.
This collaboration between two industry innovators, first announced in December 2013, allows users to draw a structure using the ChemBioDraw Ultra 14 offering and then initiate a SciFinder session to search the structure. ChemBioDraw Ultra software automatically detects whether the structure is a single substance, or the reactant or product of a reaction. Researchers can now save considerable time when using both products.
Become an Exhibitor and reserve your booth now. The ACS National Exposition is an integral part of each meeting and presents a unique opportunity to interact with over 10,000 scientific professionals. Exhibiting options as low as $750 are available. Limited space available.

Senior Chemists Committee Plan Programs
 Marvin Caruthers to Speak at Senior Chemists Breakfast
Marvin H. Caruthers, Distinguished Professor of Biochemistry and Chemistry at the University of Colorado, Boulder will be the keynote speaker during the Senior Chemists Breakfast on Tuesday, March 24 at 7:30 - 9:30 AM. Prof. Caruthers' interests include nucleic acids chemistry and biochemistry. Approximately 30 years ago, the methodologies that are used today for chemically synthesizing DNA were developed in his laboratory and incorporated into so-called gene machines for the purpose of synthesizing DNA used by biochemists, biologists, and molecular biologists for many research applications. More recently his laboratory has developed methods for RNA chemical synthesis and for the synthesis of DNA/RNA on chips. Prof. Caruthers will present Wearing Two Hats-Basic Research and Biotechnology. Ticket price is $20.00 for the breakfast and can be purchased through meeting registration.
Polymer Science Experiments for K-12 Teachers
The ACS Senior Chemists Committee (SCC) will co-sponsor, with the Polymer Ambassadors, a workshop for K-12 teachers who participate in polymer science learning experiments that can be used in the classroom. In addition, SCC is a proud sponsor of the Undergraduate Speed Networking with Chemistry Professionals event that will be held on Monday, March 23, at 3:45 – 5:15 PM. Locations for all events will be available at www.acs.org/denver2015.
