High Throughput Screening

Diagram

Our high throughput screening of cellular and biochemical assays is conducted in 1,536-well and 2,080-well plate formats on three proprietary and fully integrated screening systems (EVOscreen™).

The open architecture of these high throughput screening platforms allows the incorporation of:

  • Proprietary Insight FCS+plus readers
  • Opera™ confocal cell imaging device
  • Commercial multimode readers (e.g. EnVision™ readers)
  • Various liquid handling devices

FCS+plus is a portfolio of confocal fluorescence readouts including:

  • Fluorescence intensity
  • Anisotropy
  • Lifetime and powerful combinations thereof with a single molecule resolution

A BasePlate™ system (The Automation Partnership) is the core element of compound reformatting, cherry picking and compound dilution. The proprietary data analysis software 'A+' tracks the entire screening process from raw screening data to final data analysis and summary reports.

Evotec offers high throughput screening of its own compound collection and / or client collections. A typical high throughput screen project encompasses the adaptation of the assay to a high throughput screening format, pilot testing of a sub-set of compounds, primary screening in singlicates with on-plate performance controls, statistical hit-identification, hit-confirmation, IC50 profiling, secondary testing, structural verification of the hit-compounds and SAR analyses analyses. All data is captured in a comprehensive written report submitted as part of the service offered.
