ABSTRACT

The pace of high throughput screening (HTS) has accelerated over the past five years with little sign of slowing. The number of different screens being run at one time, the number of new screens coming on-line over the course of a year and the number of compounds being run against these screens are all increasing. One of the few numbers in screening that is decreasing is the amount of time that is given to run a compound deck against a screen. Screens that once lasted a year are now being completed in 3 months or less.
