Johnson Matthey Catalysis and Chiral Technologies Introduces Catalytic Reaction Guide Mobile Application

Johnson Matthey Catalysis and Chiral Technologies (JMCCT), a business unit of Johnson Matthey Fine Chemical Division, has announced the launch of its Catalytic Reaction Guide (CRG) as a free mobile application. The app has been introduced to provide customers mobile access to catalyst recommendations on more than 150 chemical reactions in the area of homogeneous, heterogeneous and asymmetric catalysis. Users can easily view and search a full product listing with streamlined technical support, take advantage of an efficient quotation request process, and obtain contact information for a complete services offering.
 

As the only app of its kind on the market, JMCCT was motivated to make the guide mobile to enable informed purchasing decisions anywhere in the world. In addition to catalyst recommendations, the app features a convenient Chemical Abstracts Service searchable product listing and relevant literature references. The interface is fully customizable through a user profile that synchronizes data with other devices for easy tracking of recommendations and details.
 

“JMCCT strives to stay at the forefront of technology, not only in the products we offer, but in how we communicate with our customers. The CRG app is a cutting-edge, efficient means for customers to access catalytic reaction data, and tap into JMCCT’s technical knowledge on the go,” said Gerard Compagnoni, General Manager of Johnson Matthey Catalysis and Chiral Technologies. “We are very excited to introduce the app for the benefit of our customers, and are looking forward to shortly debuting the online version of the CRG to round out this resource.”
 

The migration to a digital platform was directly driven by customer demand for the CRG in a more manageable format than traditional print, and was formally completed and put into beta testing in late 2014. Customers may download the app for free on any iPhone, iPad or Android device. A complementary online CRG will go live on the JMCCT website in spring 2015.
