High-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated process that allows researchers to quickly conduct millions of chemical, genetic, or pharmacological tests. HTS uses robotics and data processing to accelerate the discovery of active compounds, antibodies, or genes that modulate a particular biological pathway.
In toxicology, HTS can rapidly identify which compounds are likely to be toxic, allowing researchers to focus on the most promising candidates for further study. This method significantly reduces the time and cost associated with traditional testing.
