High-throughput screening

High-throughput screening

Description
Compounds are tested in a suitably standardised automated manner to collect quantitative data on their bioactivities by using a wide range of read-out technologies such as absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence or AlphaScreen and by implementing cell-based and biochemical assays. This high-throughput screening process allows researchers to rapidly identify compounds that modulate specific proteins or pathways of interest.
