title: High-throughput screening: new technology for the 21st century.
abstract: New technologies in high-throughput screening have significantly increased throughput and reduced assay volumes. Key advances over the past few years include new fluorescence methods, detection platforms and liquid-handling technologies. Screening 100,000 samples per day in miniaturized assay volumes will soon become routine. Furthermore, new technologies are now being applied to information-rich cell-based assays, and this is beginning to remove one of the key bottlenecks downstream from primary screening.
