ChemBridge Launches Newly Redesigned Hit2Lead.com Online Chemical Store

San Diego,CA - ChemBridge Corporation announced the release of a completely re-designed Hit2Lead.com (http://www.Hit2Lead.com) e-commerce site, with updated functionality. Since 2001, Hit2Lead.com has received growing recognition from the pharmaceutical and biotech industry as a primary, user-friendly online resource for screening compounds and building blocks used for drug discovery research. Hit2Lead.com allows customers to directly search and purchase on-line, ChemBridge's in-stock small molecule compounds. Hit2Lead.com contains the entire ChemBridge collection of 700,000 screening compounds and 8,000 building blocks. Since Hit2Lead.com's launch in 2001, 145,000 compounds have been ordered and shipped to 2,500 customers in 900 companies and research organizations worldwide, including all major pharmaceutical companies. Half of these compounds were shipped within 24-48 hours from RUSH Stock in San Diego.

"The new site was redesigned based on client feedback and requests from customers all over the world," says Olga Guy, Hit2Lead.com Project Manager. "The latest online searching technology, and usability strategies and techniques were implemented to make Hit2Lead.com as user-friendly and simple as possible for clients to search, find, and buy the small molecules needed to advance their various discovery chemistry programs."
