Ultra-High Throughput Screening has been defined as the discipline of taking at least 100K data points of assay data of a biochemical or cellular assay using automation in 24 hours. Members of the uHTS SIG will work together to improve the quality of uHTS data, the ease of use of uHTS automation systems and the exchange of the best practices to further the initial stages of drug discovery to ultimately help patients. Our first year activities of the uHTS SIG at the SLAS conference (Feb 4-8) will be to create a forum for operators and managers of uHTS systems to present/discuss innovation, case studies and daily operations to build a community of uHTS researchers and professionals. in addition, a resource for organizations exploring the building of a uHTS system or to upgrade their existing HTS system.
