MALDI High-Throughput Screening beyond 100,000 Samples Per-Day in Drug Discovery
30 Jul 2015Label-free methods based on mass spectrometry are rapidly expanding into biochemical high-throughput screening development. Using MALDI-TOF in HTS assays provides significant benefits over multiplexed LC-MS and SPE-MS techniques by dramatically increasing sample analysis speed, reducing chemical/solvent use/waste therefore reducing costs. This application note describes the use of the fully automated MALDI PharmaPulse solution for high-throughput screening in drug discovery.

High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines.

Tandem mass analyzers such as TOF/TOF systems can be used to increase resolution and sensitivity of your analysis.

It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

Drug TestingIt is essential to test the efficacy and toxicity of drugs at every stage of their development to ensure that a pharmaceutical product is fit for purpose and safe for use before reaching the stage of mass production and distribution.Drug DiscoveryDrug discovery is the process of identifying potential new medications, involving stages such as target identification, compound screening, and preclinical development. It relies on cutting-edge technologies like high-throughput screening, artificial intelligence, and molecular modeling to accelerate the identification of drug candidates. Drug discovery plays a pivotal role in developing new therapies for diseases ranging from cancer to rare genetic disorders.
