High-Throughput Screening

High-throughput screening (HTS) is a technique for conducting scientific research that is particularly useful in the drug discovery process and pertinent to the disciplines of biology, materials science, and chemistry. High-throughput screening enables a researcher to quickly carry out millions of chemical, genetic, or pharmacological tests using robotics, data processing/control software, liquid handling equipment, and sensitive detectors. This procedure enables rapid identification of molecules, antibodies, or genes that affect a specific biomolecular pathway. The outcomes of these studies offer a foundation for developing pharmaceuticals and for comprehending the function or noninteraction of a specific site.
