| Question: |
How can I find references for the substance identified by CAS Number
26159-34-2 ? |
| Strategy: |
Locating chemical substance information using a CAS Number
is a 2-step prozess: |
|
1. Locate the CAS REGISTRY record for the
substance by using the CAS Number option.
2. Select the link to substance information of interest ("crossover
search"). |
|
Use this strategy as well when you want to
verify a CAS Number or identify chemical names or chemical structures
