Abstract
With the development of medicine and the aging population, the demand for more effective therapies is escalating. A tool that facilitates the discovery and introduction of new therapeutic drugs is High-Throughput Screening (HTS). These tests, consisting of a wide set of various assays, allow testing hundreds of thousands of compounds in a short period of time. The aim is to accurately identify active compounds that could become potential therapeutic candidates in the pharmaceutical industry. HTS is the first step in the quest for potential drugs, therefore it is one of the crucial tests that determine whether a particular drug candidate will be discovered. In this review, different stages of high-throughput screening studies will be described, as well as methods utilized in these studies. The necessary steps in the optimization of these tests, selection of equipment, automation and key quality control parameters for reliably performed screening will also be presented.
