Third Party Collections
Evotec can also screen:
- Customer libraries of any size
- Virtual screening derived hits
- Smaller, more target-directed libraries
Characteristics of Evotec's Compound Collection and Libraries
Evotec’s high-quality collection of >850,000 compounds exhibits a high degree of drug-likeness as assessed by QED score and other physicochemical
properties, ensuring the best possible chance of success.
Quality Control
Maintaining quality is vital to ensure the generation of high-quality screening data. In addition to characterizing new compounds added to the collection, routine quality control is performed on our compound collection to ensure quality over time.
These include:
- Confirmation of compound integrity/identity by mass spectrometry
- Purity assessment: UV-purity detection at 215 nm (optionally expanded to 200–400 nm) and, if required, ELSD detection
