High Throughput Screening
High Throughput Screening (HTS) is a high-speed, automated method used to measure the biochemical or biophysical activity of tens of thousands of compounds in a single experiments. It is used to identify compounds that can be developed as potential drugs or other treatments. By quickly and accurately sifting through large collections of compounds, HTS enables researchers to save time and resources in the process of discovering novel treatments and cures. In addition to its use in drug discovery, HTS is increasingly used in other areas such as crop improvement, synthetic biology and environmental management. HTS has revolutionized drug discovery by allowing researchers to rapidly identify potential treatments and quickly move from the lab to clinical trials.
