High-Throughput Screening

High-throughput screening (HTS) is a technique for conducting scientific experiments 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 rapidly perform millions of chemical, genetic, or pharmacological experiments using robots, data processing/control software, liquid handling equipment, and sensitive detectors. Through this method, it is simple to identify substances, antibodies, or genes that affect a certain biomolecular pathway. The outcomes of these studies serve as a springboard for developing new drugs and comprehending the function or noninteraction of a certain site.
