High throughput screening(HTS) involves the screening of very large collections of small molecules enabled by automation... HTS remains the most popular approach taken when little initial information is known about the particular biological system under investigation. The broad objective of compound screening is to rapidly identify biologically active small molecules or "hits" within a specific area of interest. These hits serve as valuable starting points for further biological evaluation and chemical optimization. 4, record 1, English, - high%20throughput%20screening
