A flexible desktop database management system for storing, searching, and retrieving chemical structures and associated scientific data.

Forms-based searching with ISIS/Base makes it easy for scientists to search, browse, and update data. A form designer enables scientists to design forms for their specific query, browsing and reporting needs.

ISIS/Base is available as a stand-alone desktop program on a PC, or used as a client to ISIS/Host, the ISIS server component.

ISIS/Base requires installation of ISIS/Draw or Symyx Draw.

Key benefits:

• Create desktop databases: Save time by storing and searching molecules, reactions, and related project data in a local database.



• Query with customizable forms: Forms-based searching is as easy as filling in the blanks. Combine chemical structure searches from ISIS/Draw with text and numeric queries.



• Design reports: Preview forms before printing; save page orientations with forms; and create, save, and print headers and footers.



• Analyze research results: Export data to Microsoft Excel spreadsheets; use ISIS for Excel to create structure-activity and structure-property relationship tables.



• Customize applications: Use development tools to create customized dialog boxes, tool bars, buttons, and special forms; control vocabulary and user access to specific functions; and automate procedures such as data registration.



• Register, search, and view data in server-based databases: Work with servers located anywhere in the world by simply linking ISIS/Base to the ISIS/Host server.

ISIS/Base 2.5 highlights:

• Ability to create local ISIS/Base databases from existing SDfiles and RDfiles
• V3000 reaction and molfile file read/write requirements for ISIS/Host 5.0 ctlib3
• Merging of Object library and PL interfaces to support reaction files
