simultaneous screening of large numbers of potential drug candidates
High Throughput Screening - The process of using automated assays to search through large numbers of substances for desired activity, resulting in less costly and faster processes.
the automated trial-and-error testing, using robotics, of very large sets of chemical or materials.
A mechanized procedure in which several hundred (or thousands) of compounds are tested for their ability to influence a biological function.
An assortment of technologies used to identify small molecules. HTS is often used in drug development to screen potential sources for novel molecules. It is capable of processing a wide variety of input samples and track data for each.
Between 10,000 and 100,000 compounds screened per day.
The process of performing an assay for a collection of millions of different compound at one time. These assays can be heterogeneous or homogeneous; the ultimate goal is to find drug candidates (leads) from this large collection of randomly synthesized chemicals.
