High-Content Screening Surges Ahead: Advances in Methodology Yield Functional and Mechanistic Data Earlier in Discovery Process

摘要

High-content screening (HCS) and the technology to do it faster, on more compounds in a shorter period of time, and to generate quantitative, multiparametric data took center stage at CHI's "High Content East" meeting held in Boston last month. Presenters described how they are implementing enhanced screening systems, image-analysis methods, and data-management strategies to achieve daily HCS runs on tens of thousands of wells and screening campaigns totaling 200,000 to 3 million wells.
