Answer: 

Option 1: The chemical may be associated under a different substance name. Select an entry from the search results and scroll down to check the Synonyms and Substances sections. Alternatively, try searching by a different identifier or synonym.

Option 2: If no entry matches your chemical and the substance is commercially available, add the chemical to the UC Chemicals library.

  1. From the UC Chemicals homepage, select Add to Inventory.
  2. Select the three-dot icon, then select  Add Commercial Substance from the drop-down menu.
  3. Fill out as much information as possible for the substance, then select Save.
  4. Please refer to the Add A Chemical to Your Inventory video for more information.

Option 3: If no entry matches your chemical and the substance is a novel compound that is not provided through a chemical manufacturer, add it as a novel compound to the UC Chemicals library.

  1. From the UC Chemicals homepage, select Add to Inventory.
  2. Select the three-dot icon, then select Add Novel Compound from the drop-down menu.
  3. Fill out as much information as possible for the substance, then select Save.
  4. Please refer to the Add a Novel Compound video for more information.
