High-Throughput Screening Methods in Drug Discovery

Advanced methods of combinatory chemistry have made it possible to quickly synthesize vast quantities of compounds for testing. These compounds are then tested in a rapid method of evaluation called high-throughput screening. High-throughput screening (HTS) allows researchers to  quickly and cost-effectively process thousands and even hundreds of thousands (ultra-high-throughput screening, or uHTS) of compounds, which […]
