What makes ToxPlanet so efficient?


ToxPlanet is the most efficient chemical hazard and toxicology information resource currently available. Underlying this efficiency are its design and organizational structure, its deep and detailed proprietary indexing, and its unique functionality.

  • Design and organizational structure
    • ToxPlanet offers single-point access to the world of chemical, toxicological, and hazard management information. By using ToxPlanet, you can locate and access the information you need via a single consolidated search interface. This eliminates the time-consuming process of having to search and jump between multiple individual products and websites.
    • Search results are organized both by the product and collection in which they are located via a convenient folder/subfolder structure. This further streamlines the search process, allowing you to find the information you are seeking more quickly and easily.
  • Deep and detailed proprietary indexing
    • One of ToxPlanet’s most powerful features is the proprietary EXPERTIndex™. Containing more than 1 million unique substances, and with nearly 5 million terms and synonyms, it is an extremely efficient tool for chemical searching. Using the EXPERTIndex provides you with one-click access to a wealth of content and data compiled from over 500 reputable sources. When a search is conducted via the EXPERTIndex, results are consistent regardless of which synonym or chemical identifier is used. This enables a more fine-tuned search, yields results that are 100% relevant, and eliminates the need for time-consuming relevance assessment.
  • Unique functionality
    • In addition to the EXPERTIndex, ToxPlanet offers other unique functionality, including its Similar Compounds feature. Similar Compounds mitigates the problem of data gaps by fully automating the process of searching for chemical analogs, allowing for instant identification of structurally-similar compounds. Leveraging PubChem structure content, and based on the Tanimoto coefficient, ToxPlanet’s proprietary Similar Compounds functionality quickly identifies molecularly-similar compounds and instantly provides access to the literature from the largest and most comprehensive information resource of its kind. What would typically involve multiple searches and countless research hours can be accomplished with just a few clicks using Similar Compounds. This results in a substantial savings of time and effort.

In all respects, ToxPlanet is a solution designed for maximum efficiency and time-savings.
