Chemical Structure Imaging Software for Web & Mobile Apps

  • Build Sites That Load Fast and Look Great
  • Simplify Your Application Stack
  • Support All Browsers

The chemists you work with expect Web applications to display well-rendered chemical structures quickly. Until now, the tools for doing so have been primitive - static raster images generated dynamically on a server. Or worse - pre-generated images in a server directory. Both of these options lack the capabilities needed for creating interactive, visually compelling web content.

ChemVector™ offers a modern solution to the chemical structure imaging problem.

Features

  • 100% JavaScript. No browser plugins are necessary.
  • Runs with all commonly-used browsers on Windows, Linux, Mac, and iPad. This includes Internet Explorer 6-9 in addition to Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari.
  • Renders structures directly from individual molfiles on a server, or as inline content.
  • Renders chemical structure content directly from ChemDraw™ binary files (.cdx).
  • Declarative syntax replaces <img> tags with analogous <object> tags, making it easy for both developers and designers to work with the resulting markup.
  • Non-blocking implementation makes it possible to render dozens of structures on a single page while maintaining UI responsiveness.
  • Structures can be magnified pre- or post-rendering with no pixelation.
