High-Throughput Screening Core

The High-Throughput Screening Facility operates under the auspices of the Vanderbilt Institute of Chemical Biology. The facility utilizes state-of-the art lab automation for sample storage, retrieval, and liquid handling and high-throughput plate readers, data management and analysis software to screen and interrogate chemical libraries (150,000 compounds selected to represent the chemical diversity of more than 1,000,000 MRSF accessible compounds) and recombinant phage-displayed antibody libraries (~ 2.9 x 109 members) to identify reagents for use in research, diagnostic or therapeutic applications. The compound collection can be accessed independently of screening, and we offer HTS compatible supplies for testing and validation. Training services are also provided to allow for walkup use of state-of-the art instrumentation.
