Technique
High-throughput Screening
High-throughput screening
Automated testing of many candidate molecules in parallel to find compounds with a desired measurable activity.
Overview
EXPLORE BY LEVELResearchers can test many molecules quickly using small experiments in plates. The most promising results are called hits and need more testing.
