High Throughput Screening(HTS) This is a new approach that fast the drug discovery process. This is a process of screening the large number of chemical compounds against the particualr target molecule that may be act as drug molecule.The goal of HTS is to accelerate drug discovery by screening large libraries often composed of hundreds of thousands of compounds(drug candidates) at a rate that may exceed 20,000 compounds per week.
