It's a screen!

摘要

High Throughput Screening (HTS) is a powerful approach that enables researchers to identify active compounds, genes or molecular pathways that modulate a specific biological response. HTS was born out of the need to identify drug candidates more rapidly. The approach became possible with advances in robotics and computer technology, and as technology continues to advance, so too has come the ability to screen more and more candidates in shorter time frames and at reduced cost. HTS continues to evolve today as an approach for drug discovery and molecular research.
