| High-throughput screening (HTS) Assay |
Description: | High-throughput screening (HTS) typically uses automated assays to search through large numbers of compounds for a desired activity. High throughput methods enable researchers to assay thousands of different chemicals against each target molecule very quickly using robotic handling systems and automated analysis of results. As used herein, high throughput screening or HTS refers to the rapid in vitro screening of large numbers of compounds (libraries); generally tens to hundreds of thousands of compounds, using robotic screening assays. Ultra high-throughput screening (uHTS) generally refers to the high-throughput screening accelerated to greater than 100,000 tests per day. To achieve high-throughput screening, it is advantageous to house samples on a multicontainer carrier or platform. A multicontainer carrier facilitates measuring reactions of a plurality of candidate compounds simultaneously. Multi-well microplates may be used as the carrier. Such multi-well microplates, and methods for their use in numerous assays, are both known in the art and commercially available. In an embodiment, the biosensors described herein may be used to detect field populations of aphids. |
