High-Throughput Analysis in the Pharmaceutical Industry: (Critical Reviews in Combinatorial Chemistry)

Series: Critical Reviews in Combinatorial Chemistry

The introduction of combinatorial chemistry technology has increased the amount of compounds generated in a year from 50 to 2000. Conventional analytical approaches simply cannot keep up. These circumstances have caused drug discovery to take on the shape of a bottleneck, like traffic through a toll booth. In order to break the bottleneck, a corresponding revolutionary improvement to the conventio
